From the summit of Beacon Hill, you are afforded wonderful views that stretch for miles in all directions. If you are hiking the South Downs Way, the trail actually takes a detour around the hill but it is worth making the effort to climb to the top to experience the views and explore the Iron Age hillfort at the summit.

Hiking

Very exposed, but with amazing 360 degree views of the South Downs.

Hiking

Tough trek up the hill going the quick (vertical) route, but well worth the effort
