Moving further right you pass a group of trees and then Gatwick Airport, after this on the horizon is the South Downs and eventually you arrive back at the stairs again.

26/09/12 - Leith Hill is the highest point in Surrey and the highest point in South East England, The Hill stands at a total of 995ft above sea level and the Tower was build for the sole intention of raising the hill above 1000ft.

17/9/12 - Here is Hogwarts Castle, this was one of the Highlights of the trip to the Harry Potter Studio tour.

No photograph can ever show how amazing this is and its hard to describe, you will just have to go and look at it yourself.
