ライミンスターとクロスブッシュの天然記念物・トップ10

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.

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.

We visit this hill so often we could do it with our eyes closed but it is always worth it. Good to know the Lithurst Hill car park has been given a reprieve by Horsham District Council. Well done guys.

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.
