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

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.

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.

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