    Hiking

    The area around the Devil's Punchbowl was a hive of highwayman activity until the 19th century. Highwaymen were mounted thieves who robbed travellers. As this spot is on the route between London and Portsmouth, they were both frequent and no doubt often wealthy.

    The three men who killed the unknown sailor (his memorial stone is nearby) were executed and their bodies hung on gibbets here on this hill as a warning to others, hence its name.
