Great views of this ‘crease’ in the hill. Lots of wildlife on view here, with its natural steep sides, birds of prey are often circling and hoovering. Grazing livestock are also common here.

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.

Really lovely second part to the walk. The climb up is straightforward but quite taxing and steep in places. Difficult if you have knee problems etc

This is a beautiful Iron Age hill fort that is now a national nature reserve, and it is a great area to bring the family to enjoy the beautiful views from the top. It has come a long way from being a mortar testing range for the British Army back in WW2.

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.

Trig points within the Old Winchester Hill fort.

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.
