Bignor Hill stands proudly above the rolling countryside; rewarding those who climb to the summit with far-reaching views. According to Celtic legend, a dragon had its lair on top of the hill and its remains can still be seen in the folds of the ground.

Part of the Slindon Estate, Bignor Hill is an area managed by the National Trust. It's a prominent viewpoint on the South Downs Way, rising to a height of 699 feet (213 m).
It features a Roman road sign pointing towards Londinium (London) and Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester). The sign lies on an intersection of the ancient Roman road known as Stane Street, which connected these cities. Bignor Hill was a strategic location on Stane Street with its high elevation and commanding views of the surrounding countryside.
