Rising to an elevation of approximately 217 meters (712 feet), Beechwood Hill is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively modest height.

The hill gets its name from the abundance of beech trees that populate its slopes, contributing to the area's lush and verdant surroundings. These trees, with their smooth, silver-gray bark and vibrant green leaves, create a stunning contrast against the blue sky and provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife.

Beechwood Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the rolling hills, valleys, and woodlands that define the region. On a clear day, visitors can enjoy vistas stretching across Surrey, Hampshire, and West Sussex, as well as glimpses of the English Channel in the distance.

The hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, who can explore its network of footpaths and bridleways. Hikers can choose from a range of trails that cater to different fitness levels, while cyclists can enjoy the challenge of tackling the hill's slopes. Beechwood Hill also attracts nature lovers, birdwatchers, and photographers, who are drawn to its tranquil beauty and the opportunity to spot local wildlife such as deer, rabbits, and a variety of bird species.

Popes Lane, near Oxted, Surrey Popes Lane is a narrow and winding lane that has been used by motorists as a cut-through between Godstone in Surrey and the Edenbridge area of Kent, but it is not really suitable for heavy traffic and the surface has given way in places, resulting in the closure of the road to through traffic at the present time.  It is seen here after a heavy shower.
