The summit of Amberley Mount is around 660 feet (200 m) above sea level, and offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Isle of Wight to the south and the North Downs to the north. It's one of the toughest climbs on the South Downs Way (from west to east).

There's a gate off the main path leading to an open grassy area where you can stop for a picnic and admire the views over Amberley Brooks.

Mountain biking

High point to the east of Amberley on the South Downs Way. Stunning views back across the river Arun towards Houghton, Bury and beyond. A lovely reward for all those who have made the climb up from Amberley.
