Botley Hill is a hill in Surrey located on the North Downs with a height of 267 metres. It is the highest point on the North Downs excluding the roughly parallel Greensand Ridge to the south. It is a Marilyn and the third highest point in Surrey after Leith Hill and Gibbet Hill.

It lies at the junction of Croydon Road, The Ridge, Clarks Lane and Titsey Hill in Warlingham on the North Downs Way. To the south is Oxted, which is the nearest railway station. [http://www.openstreetmap.org | Open Street Map]
