Here you will find the trig point of Devil's Dyke, standing tall at 217 m. From here, you will be afforded some magnificent views across the valley and rolling hills of the surrounding countryside.

Devil’s Dyke is the largest chalk land dry combe in Britain and an area of great beauty. It is a V-shaped valley that has the South Downs Way traversing it immediately south of its location. It also has a multivallate Iron Age hill fort adjacent to it to the west, where on some high ground there is a trig pint that sits on the southern rampart of the fort. At just over 710 feet high (217 m), it is not very high, but the views out over Adder Bottom and the South Downs towards the coast are superb.
