Reigate is a historic town that makes up half of the Reigate and Redhill area of Surrey. Reigate was for centuries a market town, and its existence predates the Domesday Book. Like much of England, the industrial revolution had a huge effect on this little village, as the railways brought prosperity. Today the town is part of the Greater London commuter belt. This makes it a reasonably affluent place to live or visit. At the same time, it has managed to retain the atmosphere of the small historic town that it once was. It has boutique shops and plenty of good restaurants to choose from.
Reigate has a collection of intriguing heritage sites and open spaces in and around the town centre. The town sits on the edge of the beautiful North Downs, and the North Downs Way walking trail is close at hand. Priory Park in the centre of Reigate is a lovely public park, with plenty of activities and facilities. One of the town’s more famous sites is the unique Reigate Heath Windmill, which is an 18th century working mill that was converted in the Victorian era to a chapel. Although little remains today, Reigate also once held a castle, underneath which runs the hidden access tunnels; Baron’s Caves. Slightly further along from here are the Reigate Tunnels, which were built in the 19th century and have been used for several purposes over the years.
Reigate and Redhill merge into each other to create a sizeable urban area. Redhill is much younger than Reigate. It blossomed in the Victorian period following the construction of the rail link from London to the south. It is this rail connection, as well as the nearby access of the M23 and M25 motorways that has made Redhill and Reigate such a popular choice for commuters. Redhill contains all the amenities you would expect from a modern town, including High Street shops, restaurants and evening entertainment.
