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 30 kilometres south of London and forms a single scarp with Reigate Hill, peaking 2 miles away at 235 metres above sea level. The scarp fluctuates in height but is continuous as far as Box Hill 5 miles west. The term "Reigate Hill" also designates a neighbourhood of Reigate, and also a ward of Reigate and Banstead.

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 771 feet , 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.
