Please check local regulations for: South Downs National Park
Just a short walk from the centre of Petersfield, this is a gorgeous heath containing three separate habitats: heather with acid grassland and gorse, woodland and scrub and the pond and its margins. Mammals, such as foxes, shrews, squirrels and wood mice inhabit the heath.
The 21 Bronze Age long barrows here pay homage to the area’s ancient history. Some are obviously visible, whilst other are more difficult to spot.
