Cheesefoot Head is a natural amphitheatre and beauty spot that provides sweeping vistas of the South Downs.
The area holds historical significance as well. During World War II, it served as an important military training area for British troops preparing for the D-Day invasion in Normandy. You can still spot remnants of military training, adding to its historical interest.

Nearly the furthest point on our ride today. It's a great way to access the South Downs Way.
