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.

Nearly the furthest point on our ride today. It's a great way to access the South Downs Way.

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

There are two hills with the name Beacon Hill on the South Downs Way. This one is 201m, trig pointed, and closer to Winchester. It has a cool old style beacon on the top.

Great ice cream in the car park..

Cheesefoot Head is a natural amphitheatre and beauty spot that provides sweeping vistas of the South Downs. The area holds historical significance as well. During World War II, it served as an important military training area for British troops preparing for the D-Day invasion in Normandy. You can still spot remnants of military training, adding to its historical interest.

One of the beacons built to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee in 2002. Great views over the valley below, and a leg testing climb to it.

Beacon Hill is a national nature reserve on a chalk spur that supports some rare plant life. This flora in turn provides a habitat to many species of butterfly. In fact, 25 species are known to breed on the site. The reserve affords stunning views over the Hampshire Basin and the South Downs.
