Hiking

Harting Down is one of the largest areas of ancient chalk downland in Britain and is managed by the National Trust. Within this timeless grassland, you can find wild herbs, pyramidal orchids, and some of the finest juniper. You can also hear skylarks, see many species of butterfly, and see rarities including the blue carpenter bee and the cheese snail.

Hiking

Harting Down is a gorgeous area of countryside that includes woodland and open views down over the Western Weald. The dry, porous, chalky paths of the South Downs even make walking a pleasant experience, even in the winter months.
