Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Brockham Warren from Leith Hill A telephoto shot from the tower on Leith Hill. Brockham Warren, on the North Downs near Box Hill, was built by Mackley Browne in 1816, and was subsequently the home of Sir Benjamin Vincent Sellon Brodie, Bt, the first president of the General Medical Council. In the far distance are the towers of Canary Wharf, over 40km away and in the far left corner, Alexandra Palace on Muswell Hill can just be made out over 50km away. The present (not the historic) county of Surrey has the highest proportion of woodland of any county in England and this is evident in this scene of Wotton Common by the Greensand Ridge in the foreground, the broad wooded middle distance being the North Downs and some of the Vale of Holmesdale in between. These three geographic features cover around 25% of the reduced size county as it is today.
