View from Bramble Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are cycling along Devil's Dyke Road, it's worth a small diversion to this fantastic viewpoint at Devil's Dyke. It's one of the best views in West Sussex, and even more superb as the sun goes down. You'll be treated to a panoramic view of patchwork fields, clusters of woodland and the dramatic edge of the towering South Downs ridge.

You'll find the Devil's Dyke pub up here too, which has bike parking stands and benches outside. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset pint.
