41. REIGATE HEATH, REDHILL AND EARLSWOOD COMMONS. 



Fronting the section of the chalk range referred to in the foregoing 

 locality are the hills of the Weald ; but this range forms by no means a 

 continuous line similar to that of the downs. Although they bear 

 occasionally the character of a ridge, they are generally grouped in an 

 irregular manner. Here for instance, at Reigate Heath there is a break 

 for some distance in the direction of Dorking. The heath lies left of the 

 road from Reigate to the last-mentioned town. One of the two low hills 

 upon it has a windmill on its summit ; the other is crowned with a 

 clump of Fir-trees. At one end of the heath is a bog adjoining a marshy 

 meadow, with a swampy copse near its south-eastern corner ; at the 

 other end is another bog, also with an adjoining swampy wood ; furze- 

 and heath-grown with a sandy subsoil. Redhill Common, south of the 

 town, is a hill of red sand ; furze- and fern-grown, but not heathy. 

 Earlswood Common is continuous with it, but low-lying. It is a grassy 

 and marshy flat, with some ditches and a reservoir at the lower end ; 

 subsoil, sand and gravel.
