One of the highest points around, on a clear day you can see London.

The area around the Devil's Punchbowl was a hive of highwayman activity until the 19th century. Highwaymen were mounted thieves who robbed travellers. As this spot is on the route between London and Portsmouth, they were both frequent and no doubt often wealthy. The three men who killed the unknown sailor (his memorial stone is nearby) were executed and their bodies hung on gibbets here on this hill as a warning to others, hence its name.

Beautiful views looking out to London. Often busy at the weekends with walkers, beware when descending down nearby trails.

Lots of nice views in the area, take some time to pause and take in the scenery!

On a clear day you can see London from this view point. Can get extremely busy at the weekends with walkers. Best to head there early morning, late afternoon or mid week.

The lodge known as the Temple of the Four Winds was built around 1910 by Viscount Pirrie, a leading Irish shipbuilder and businessman. Viscount Pirrie The Viscount’s Witley Park estate included a deer park over this area and many elaborate picnic lunches were held at the lodge for his hunting friends. Viscount Pirrie used to enjoy looking out over his estate from here and admiring the extensive views. Sadly the lodge gradually fell into disrepair and was vandalised in 1959. By 1966 it had become a hazard and had to be dismantled. Now only the stone base remains, and over the years scrub undergrowth has begun too obscure some of the magnificent views.
