These are ideal from viewing as you float along in a hot air balloon basket. Here are just some of the interesting and impressive things you might get to see on a hot air balloon ride through Surrey: Leith Hill The top of Leith Hill is the highest point in the south east of England, so if you cannot climb to its peak, why not take a hot air balloon ride over the top? If you do so, you will not only have a great view of the hill, but you will also be able to look out over Surrey, Central London and the coast, providing your eyes with a veritable feast.
