Hiking

Standing at 889 feet (271 m) tall, Butser Hill is the highest point on the South Downs and affords breathtaking views over Hampshire and the Channel. The chalk grassland has been designated as a national nature reserve due to its rare flora and fauna. Part of the hill is an ancient scheduled monument, too.

Lovely little winter afternoon amble up from the main NT car park to the mast, trig point, around the bowl and back to the car park. It is a UK listed Marilyn.
