Cissbury Ring is an Iron Age hill fort in the South Downs National Park. It's one of the largest hill forts in Europe, covering an area of around 60 acres (24 hectares). The site has a rich history with evidence of settlement dating back over 5,000 years.
The site is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare species of orchids and butterflies. The hill fort is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is managed by the National Trust.
From the base of the hill, there's a footpath that leads to a trig point at the top. There are stunning views over the English Channel and as far as The Isle of Wight. It's worth dismounting and walking up the hill, as you'll also see resident ponies from the New Forest grazing across the area.
