Worth stopping off to look at the ancient yew tree.

The very modern monument we encounter here was erected to mark the turn of the millennium, from the end of the 20th century to the 21st century. Nevertheless, its formal language draws on ancient models that take us far back into the past, several millennia before Christ.

Great to do when it’s been wet as mostly on very quiet roads/tarmac. A good short walk with great views

Lovely little spot to rest up and realise how small and insignificant we are.

It's the highest point of the Downs and there are some helpful interpretation boards about the history of the area.

Like parts of the route 21 around here, it’s a bit tricky for a road bike tour (steep and gravelly), but I’d love to return to come mountain/gravel biking with the kids. As you rejoin the road, this is a beautiful peaceful spot with seats if you don’t mind the M25 below 😄

The oak tree is thought to be over 400 years old, sitting next to 'the cage' which was used as a temporary jail for minor felons in the 1700s and 1800s

The stones were not visitable when I went yesterday (Monday, around 3 pm). Gates, a distance away, were locked, by the main sign, couldn't see a way in. Google says it's "open 24 hours", but it isn't!
