Scenic viewpoint with a bench next to a dew pond overlooking the Sussex countryside towards the east.

The construction of dew ponds began in the South Downs during the 11th century, when traditional water sources such as streams and wells were not readily available. They provide a vital source of water for grazing livestock, particularly during the summer months when streams and other water sources may dry up.
