Reaching Truleigh Hill you are at one of the high spots on the South Downs. During the Second World War it was used for radar defences. Descending from the Downs, you pass through Mill Hill, a local nature reserve on rare chalk grassland. The site is an important haven for indigenous flowers and insects. Today, only 3% of heritage chalk grassland remains in Sussex which is why it’s so important to protect it. The south- and west-facing downs attract at least 33 species of butterfly (including Chalkhill Blue and Adonis Blue) and this is one of the best areas in Sussex to spot them. There are also fantastic views across the Adur Valley.
