Netley Heath is an area of woods and heathland near Gomshall in Surrey, England. It has a significant geological stratum which gives rise to the name of "Netley Heath Beds".
The woodland contains both deciduous and coniferous trees and charcoal burning was carried out in the area with evidence of kilns.[1] Fossils from the Red Crag (Lower Pleistocene) age have been found in deposits at Netley Heath. This is taken as evidence that marine deposits of the plio-pleistocene age were once deposited over the chalk.[2]
From 1795 to 1815 Netley Heath was the site of an Admiralty shutter telegraph station on the line from London to Portsmouth.
