Redhill is situated in the Vale of Holmesdale, which is a low-lying area between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge in the Weald Basin. The Greensand Ridge is a significant geological feature composed of a layer of sandstone sandwiched between layers of clay, and it runs through Surrey and Sussex. Redhill is located at a natural water-cut gap in the Greensand Ridge, which provides a route for the Redhill Brook to flow and eventually join the Salfords Stream and the River Mole to the south. Most of the town’s housing is located in the Vale of Holmesdale, while some are on the hillsides of Redstone Hill and Redhill Common. Its strategic location has made it an important transportation hub, as it serves as a route for the London to Brighton railway and the A23 road.

During the medieval and early modern periods, Reigate was predominantly an agricultural settlement, with key crops including oatmeal, hops, and flax. However, there is no evidence that rye was grown locally. The town held a weekly market from at least 1279 until 1895, but the economy declined in the 18th century due to the arrival of new turnpike roads, which enabled cheaper goods from outside the town to become available and undercut local producers.

With the advent of the railways in the mid-19th century, Reigate began to expand, and the sale of much of the priory estate in 1921 released additional land for housebuilding. Since 1974, Reigate has been one of four towns in the borough of Reigate and Banstead, and it is now part of the London commuter belt. The borough council is headquartered at the new town hall on Castlefield Road, while Surrey County Council has its headquarters at Woodhatch Place.

To the north of Reigate, much of the North Downs is owned by the National Trust, including Colley Hill, which stands at 722 feet (220 m) above ordnance datum (OD), and Reigate Hill, which is 771 feet (235 m) above OD.
