Oxshott Heath

Oxshott Heath

Oxshott Heath is a heathland in Oxshott, Surrey, England having an interesting geology where the London Clay stratum meets the overlying sand stratum and emerges to the surface. This has created a sand escarpment, from which views to Box Hill (near Dorking) can be made out to the South. The top of the escarpment is also home to the war memorial. The Heath is part of Oxshott Woods and Esher Commons.
