Reigate Hill and Gatton Park are two prominent heritage sites located in Surrey, England. Reigate Hill is a chalk hill that offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. It is situated within the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers alike. The hill is known for its diverse wildlife, including rare orchids and various butterfly species.

Gatton Park, on the other hand, is a historic parkland that encompasses an area of approximately 260 acres. It is situated adjacent to Reigate Hill and is renowned for its magnificent gardens and picturesque landscapes. The park is home to several notable features, including the Grade II listed Gatton Hall, a Georgian mansion built in the late 18th century.

Visitors to Gatton Park can explore its extensive network of walking trails, which provide access to various points of interest such as the Japanese garden, the lake, and the walled garden. The park also offers educational programs and guided tours, allowing visitors to learn about its rich history and architectural heritage.

Both Reigate Hill and Gatton Park offer a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby urban areas. They provide an opportunity to immerse oneself in nature, enjoy breathtaking views, and appreciate the cultural significance of these remarkable heritage sites.

B17 crash memorial, Reigate Hill On 19 March 1945, a B17G Flying Fortress crewed by 9 men from the 384th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Corps crashed into Reigate Hill when returning to its base at Grafton Underwood in Northamptonshire from a raid near the German/Czech border. This clearing in the trees is the site of the crash, as the Beech trees at the spot were destroyed by the impact. Although the site has always been marked with a seat, a new memorial was unveiled in 2015 on the 70th anniversary of the crash. It consists of two replica wingtips, carved by sculptor Roger Day. and placed 103 ft apart, being the aircraft's wingspan. In the distance on the right is Reigate.
