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.

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.

Torberry Hill is an Iron Age hillfort in West Sussex. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The hillfort is located within the parish of Harting, within the South Downs National Park. The hillfort has a pear-shaped layout and covers an area of 2.8 hectares. It has a low dump rampart and a ditch that enclose the western part of the hill. The eastern part is defended by the steep slope of the hill. The interior of the hillfort contains several storage pits that date to the Iron Age. The hillfort was built in several phases, starting from the 5th century BC. Torberry Hill is also a mountain summit that is 156 metres high with a prominence of 65 metres. The summit can be identified by a grass mound. There are several walks that can be done around Torberry Hill, such as the one to West Harting Down or Beacon Hill.

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.

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