A heart-pounding climb will bring you to a glorious ridgetop where you will be afforded some magnificent views across the rolling hills and lush green landscapes that make up the South Downs National Park. To the west is Rackham Hill, and to the east, Kithurst, Chantry, and Sullington Hill.

Hiking

The views when you climb the Downs are spectacular, you can see out to sea with the power windmills in the distance and the flood plains around Amberley. We loved every minute of it, please see it for yourselves, making sure it is a clear sunny day.

Hiking

Great walk but incredibly muddy and wet in the winter so make sure you're prepared for that or wait till the summer!
