At 889 feet (271 m), Butser Hill is the highest point on the South Downs Way. It offers fabulous views across Hampshire and a glimpse of the south western corner of Sussex and the English Channel beyond. Directly below, you can see the A3 snaking though the valley.
The steep climb (or descent) consists of an open grassy track, and there's a kiosk at the top of the hill in the car park selling food and drink.
The hill is also a popular spot for paragliding and kite flying, owing to its open space and strong winds.

Ha, what a lovely hill, it looks nice, not long but when you on it, oh my. If you going down, it feels great, you are not scared as it is fairly smooth and you don't need to break. When you going up, it doesn't look steep, but it feels never ending and you want to reach the top.
