    Tips

    Sunny Hill is the site of Bury Ditches, an Iron Age hillfort dating back to around 500 BC. The fort is exceptionally well-preserved and has impressive defensive earthworks. Once covered in trees, planted by the Forestry Commission, a series of storms led to them being removed and today, the views are fantastic.

      Make sure open the flap in the board walking down (Kempton-side). There used to be a village on top of this hill!

      Beautiful views in every direction here!
