ファンティントンの天然記念物・トップ18

At high tide the water comes very close to the rode here. It's a good place to have a view over this bay and to watch the changing of tides.

Head south from Harting down to join bridle path heading South down to Centurion way and thence to Chichester railway station, 11 miles. Mainly a descent, Just one climb and then the joy of the recently upgraded cycle path the last 5 miles to Chichester. Winchester railway station to Chichester railway station 44 miles.

Nice pub, good for a drink but busy for food - bookings in advance generally.

It's worth noting that the pictures here are of Devil's Humps (10 mins away) not Bow Hill. This marker is in the middle of some woodland without a view (but you do walk past a good view as you turn off the main path!)

Amazing views

Nice place with spectacular views. Easy path.

Known as the ‘Devil’s Humps‘and the ‘King's Graves,‘ many legends and folklores surround these Bronze Age barrows. Whatever the truth the commanding position at the very top of Kingley Vale is a clear indication that they marked the resting place of important people, perhaps tribal leaders. This may be evidence of the beginnings of social hierarchies at this time. https://www.southdowns.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Kingley-Vale-Hidden-Trail-Final-web-version.pdf

Kingley Vale was designated one of the country’s first National Nature Reserves in 1952. It is owned by Natural England and the West Dean Estate, who manage the Reserve protecting its special habitats, wildlife and heritage. Kingley Vale is known for its twisted and ancient yew trees and includes a grove of veteran trees which are among the oldest living things in Britain. Several are at least 500 years old, with the oldest measuring more than five metres in girth. https://www.southdowns.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Kingley-Vale-Hidden-Trail-Final-web-version.pdf
