Chanctonbury Ring is a late Bronze or early Iron Age hillfort that boasts sublime views over the South Downs countryside. The ring, which is well-known for its prominent beech trees, is hailed as a place where the supernatural happens. According to legend, if you run backwards around the ring six times on a midsummer's night you can summon the devil. There have been UFO sightings on the hill, too.
