This pod-like structure provides a secluded seat and a beautiful view across the South Downs. Many of the shingles have been engraved with words from visitors to the site.

Really nice place to sit and take a break, with amazing views. The structure is engraved with quotes from visitors.

Running

Created by Giles Miller, Perspectives is an intriguing sculpture that sits looking out across the views from Winterfold Hill. It is made from cedar shingles, a number of which have been engraved with a few words. Many a moment has been lost on a run by wandering around the sculpture to absorb the messages left by previous visitors.
