Heathland restoration work over the last 20 or so years in Reigate Heath has led to increased heather flowering, justifying the area's status as an SSSI and LNR, with 2011 giving an exceptional display. Most of the heather in this view is Ling (Calluna vulgaris). In the background is Reigate Heath Golf Club clubhouse, with the sweeps of Reigate Heath Windmill behind it.
