The ‘gateway to the Surrey
Hills’, lovely Leatherhead lies on the banks of
the River Mole, which flows beneath a photogenic
14-arch bridge. The town has ancient roots, a fact
reflected in its many timber-framed buildings,
including its 17th century museum.
One of its top attractions is
the Fire & Iron Gallery, the world’s leading metal
art gallery featuring the work of international
jewellers and blacksmiths.
Leatherhead’s church boasts a
15th century tower which looks out onto the river,
a vista which was turned into a famous watercolour
painting by the artist J M W Turner.
