One of the more substantial South Downs Way finger posts situated in a dip to the west of Beacon Hill. The South Downs Way curves here and traverses the southern side of Beacon Hill, this was a little disappointing as it would have been nice for it to go up and over the top.

A sheltered valley and nice place to pause.

This is a lovely finger post with a nice stone base and built-in bench. Set in the seat of a col, it is quite sheltered and a nice rest stop.
