Bignor Hill is a prominent viewpoint rising to a height of 699 feet (213 m). It features a Roman road sign pointing towards Londinium (London) and Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester). The site forms part of the ancient Roman road known as Stane Street, which connected these cities. Bignor Hill was a strategic location on Stane Street with its high elevation and commanding views of the surrounding countryside.
Bignor Hill is part of the Slindon Estate, an area managed by the National Trust. It is known for its diverse wildlife, with habitats ranging from ancient woodland to open farmland.
