Bench with a view

Always a good walk or cycle anytime of year.

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.

If you're visiting Wephams Wood in the spring months, expect to be sauntering through a field of blooming bluebells!

The English countryside is littered with bomb craters. There are various theories as to their provenance, all stemming from the Second World War. Rouge German bombs, Allied aircraft dropping bombs in the countryside to make for a safer landing on their return from missions and munitions being buried in the woods and subjected to controlled explosions after the war had ended. They are now popular with mountain bikers who use the steep sides and features to test their skills.

From Butt Lane Bridleway, look north west and you'll see Nore Folly on the opposite hillside. Although the folly looks like a gatehouse it goes absolutely nowhere and was built in 1814 for the pleasure of guests at the Countess of Newburgh's picnics. It is possible to hike up to the folly via a steep path.
