We parked in the Windy Car Park, which I believe is the closest car park, but not necessarily the easiest way to Leith Hill Tower. It was approximately 1/4 of a mile up very steep (and slippery steps, because of the inclement weather), and I would add, that if you have a lung condition, you would need to stop every few seconds to regain your breath - however, it took me about 20 minutes and I was very glad I did as the views are spectacular - 360 degrees from the top of the tower, which is free to National Trust Members. There are areas to stop off on the way up and there are picnic areas at the summit, as well as hot and cold drinks etc. There are easy to follow signposts to get one up and down the hill. I chatted with a very nice lady serving the drinks who recommended the Starveall car park as being the gentler, albeit slightly longer climb. One can also access Leith Hill from Ranmore Common and there were plenty of youth (probably doing their DofE) stopping to rest, have a drink and take in the views! My husband climbed the tower, which I attempted, but it really was a very tight, circular, and at times unlit stair case, so I came back down, but he said that at the top of the tower there is a table of what you are looking at view-wise. I would really welcome the National Trust placing such tables outside the tower for those who are unable/don't choose to climb the tower. It's truly a beautiful part of the North Downs and I would highly recommend it, despite the rainfall we endured!

Marlow bridge is a beautiful structure, even more special due to its age and use. It’s best viewed from the tow path in Higginson Park or from the Lock on Mill road at sunset or dawn. It is twinned with it’s larger sister in Budapest crossing the river Danube, yet is still gloriously celebrated and fiercely protected by all Marlovians. The bridge, for many locals, holds memories of New Year’s Eve celebrations when the traffic across the bridge is suspended and the majority of the town attend to watch the fireworks set off from up the Thames. Many Marlovians, in years past, would celebrate receiving their exam result by jumping off Marlow bridge and many have enjoyed numerous hours rowing under it, to turn by the wier and head back to the Rowing Club (where Olympic gold medalists Steve Redgrave, Niomi Riches and Katherine Grainger famously started their professional rowing careers.) What with its history, age and sheer beauty, Marlow Bridge is a must see, either at night or during the day. You can watch the towers, the visitors to Higginson Park, the river traffic and of course, nosey at any weddings happening at the Complete Angler or All Saints church.

The coastal path from Cowes to Gurnard passes Egypt Point. The weather was fine and clear during our visit, so there was plenty of activity to look at in the Solent. In worse weather perhaps there would be less going on, but still a very pleasant place to be.

Light Up Trails is a covid safe, fantastic family event which is held at the beautiful Wiston Estate in Steyning. Taking place from 8th December - 3rd January 2021, from 16:00 - 22:00. A magical Christmas light trail with world class light artists, food, and beverage, inspired by our theme ‘hope’.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience despite horrendous weather conditions. We dressed for the weather and mud as warned on the website. The light installations were fabulous and gave us hope after a difficult year! Mulled wine, pizza and crepes helped keep spirits up despite the weather. The staff were polite and helpful. Worth getting soaked!!
