We visit this hill so often we could do it with our eyes closed but it is always worth it. Good to know the Lithurst Hill car park has been given a reprieve by Horsham District Council. Well done guys.

April 8, 2023,Chantry Hill and Chantry Post round from Burpham

A variation on a walk we have done several times before starting and finishing at the Georgeand Dragon Inn in Burpham. We usually. Include Chantry Hill (Kithurst Hill). This time we descended the scarp slope from there and climbed back up via Chantry Post. Lots of primroses and other early spring flowers.
