Situated on the Main A24 to London and just off the M25, Leatherhead is a perfect escape from the City to stunning countryside. Along the North Downs Way, on the edge of the Surrey Hills area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the river Mole flows under a 14 arch bridge past a 15th century pub, and onwards through the historic Anglo-Saxon town centre of Leatherhead. There are lovely views of the town‚s viaduct from the bridge and a pleasant 4 mile walk along the river bank or the Thames Down Link for the more adventurous. Since pre-war times, the road between Leatherhead and Dorking has been popular for motorcyclists to race each other. Nearby Box Hill, with it‚s narrow lanes winding through woods and beautiful views, used to be great for motorcycles to race too but nowadays has speed bumps placed on dangerously tight bends. However, it has become even more popular as a beautiful place to walk, relax, or, in Wintry weather, sledge. Jane Austen, who often visited her god father in Great Bookham, based the characters in her books on the people of Leatherhead, attracting many tourists to the charming 17th and 18th century buildings in Leatherhead‚s diverse town centre. Fully pedestrianised with easy access for those with mobility problems, modern shopping facilities rub shoulders with galleries, a museum in a lovely timbered house and a public library in The Mansion, a very impressive timbered building and of course the famous Thorndyke Theatre, there is plenty to do. Leatherhead is also perfect for children, especially Harry Potter fans as this is the town that Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films grew up in. Or for a bit of excitement there‚s the theme park Chessington World Of Adventures or the farm animal petting zoo of Bocketts Farm .
