[1] On the top of Chatley Heath (formerly known as Breach Hill) is a tower built as part of the Royal Navy Semaphore line.
The octagonal tower was built as part of the Admiralty semaphore chain which operated between 1822 and 1847.
It is 60 feet (18 m) high with five storeys topped by a parapet built of red brick.
[2] However the condition of tower has more recently deteriorated, and it is again undergoing restoration, this time by the Landmark Trust who are converting it into self-catering holiday accommodation.
[5] Its mid-long-distance access is the first exit immediately southwest of the Wisley Interchange of the A3, after meeting the M25 there.
