Standing at 889 feet (271 metres) tall, Butser Hill is the highest point on the South Downs Way and the second highest point in the South Downs National Park after Blackdown in the Western Weald.

The area has been designated as a nature reserve due to the rare flora and fauna found on the chalk grassland.

Lots of different ways up and down this one. The climb from Queen Elizabeth Country Park is a beastly one on the grass that ramps up onto chalky ruts near the top. Good luck!

It's a big one! Descending down towards the A3 is a blast, just make sure the brakes a working.
