An atmospheric house with panoramic views
 |
| This lovely historic house was built around 1600 and later rebuilt in Palladian style by Richard Hull in 1760. Once owned by the wealthy Wedgwood family, Leith Hill place was the childhood home of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Williams gave the house to the National Trust in 1944. |
 |
| The iconic building on Leith Hill is the Gothic Tower built in 1765 by Richard Hull, who called it Prospect House. The name is apt, for the top of the tower is the highest point in southern England at 1029 feet and offers a spectacular 'prospect' or views over the surrounding countryside. |
Thanks to my lovely friends Zosia and Ania for wonderful time together there.
