Colley Hill
Colley Hill is part of the North Downs escarpment in the North Downs, Surrey, England. It is about 1 km east of Buckland Hills and 1 km west of Reigate Hill, all of which form part of the same escarpment. It is centred south of London and forms a single scarp with Reigate Hill, peaking away at 235 metres above sea level. The scarp fluctuates in height but is continuous as far as Box Hill west. The term "Reigate Hill" also designates a neighbourhood of Reigate, and also a ward of Reigate and Banstead. ==Prominence and description of section of range== Colley Hill is contiguous with Reigate Hill, the ninth highest hill in Surrey. Colley Hill is its western continuation — officially considered a crest or scarp reaching (at grid reference TQ255521) , a point usually simply but confusingly known as Reigate Hill. "Reigate Hill" also defines a neighbourhood of the town of Reigate, and is also a ward of Reigate and Banstead. The Reigate Hill summit is the highest point along the Mole Gap to Merstham Gap, the mid-western section of the North Downs, which stretch from at least Farnham in the west to Dover on the coast. This section of the ridge is, as is typical, steep and a little to the west is quarried forming white faces to the south but particularly gentle to the north, where it gave way to hill pasture covering more than which was until deep wells were dug devoid of any access to surface water, known as Banstead and Walton Downs.
