With extensive views and a tower on the summit, Chinthurst Hill is a picturesque nature reserve that is home to lots of wildlife. Birds you can observe include buzzards, sparrowhawks, red kites, and wrens. There are many species of butterfly, as well as roe deer, bats, and insects. The hillside has a broad mix of trees—including oak, sweet chestnut, hazel, and rowan—and is renowned for its wildflower displays. The tower you find on the summit was built in the late 1930s by Lord Inchcape and is Grade II-listed.
