ローランズ城の天然記念物・トップ16

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.

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!)

This was on the last leg of the King Alfred’s Way for me and was one of the few descents in the whole trip i walked, dry conditions but on a loaded gravel - the descent was more treacherous than i was prepared to risk / but amazing views from the top and a fast through the fields ride from the bottom.

A lovely little hill that is on the South Downs Way. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside can be had from here.

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

Worth the slippery, chalky muddy ascent from Mile End lane - looking forward to repeating the route in summer with less mud!
