Follow the trail around the ring for great views over Findon to Worthing

Chantry Hill is adjacent to Kithurst Hill and provides another route to this accessible trig point. The paths and wide open views down over the South Downs are stunning.

Yet another trig point to do on the South Downs Way. Well, not quite as Kithurst Hill is slightly north of the official trail, but worth the dog leg to it just to get another trig.

A beautiful little hill and very popular with dog walkers and runners. Mainly because not only are the views great but there are good paths underfoot and a nearby car park.

Take a stroll around the idyllic and ancient woodland of Nore Woods. The woods are situated in the South Downs National Park, somewhere between Chichester & Arundel. You'll be meandering through a stunning display of mixed broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, with the most notable feature being the incredible display of bluebells that carpet the forest floor during the spring months.

Harrow Hill is an archaeological site situated in West Sussex in the South Downs National Park. The hill sits on the remains of Neolithic flint mines and a Bronze Age settlement. The hill rises 168m above sea level and provides some wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Cissbury Ring is an Iron Age hill fort in the South Downs National Park. It's one of the largest hill forts in Europe, covering an area of around 60 acres (24 hectares). The site has a rich history with evidence of settlement dating back over 5,000 years. The site is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare species of orchids and butterflies. The hill fort is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is managed by the National Trust. From the base of the hill, there's a footpath that leads to a trig point at the top. There are stunning views over the English Channel and as far as The Isle of Wight. It's worth dismounting and walking up the hill, as you'll also see resident ponies from the New Forest grazing across the area.

Kithurst Hill is our local go to summit hill. We have certainly climbed it more times than any other and the paths on the scarp slope are one of our favourite hill climbing practice areas. It is only 213m but it has a Trig pillar and excellent views. It might be just off the South Downs Way but it is technically a Hump and is definitely worth a visit or two.
