Reviews
If you have had enough of the hustle and bustle of city life, come here to escape it all. The air is fresh, the sounds of nature like a concerto of birdsong and breeze and the views are breathtaking.
The only things that spoil this wonderful piece of the outdoors are the houses and factories that blight the landscape. Humans ruin everything.
It's actually really nice here, the view is wonderful and you can walk and explore the landscape for miles! Come early though if you plan to walk far as the Carpark is locked in the evening.
Fabulous views from the picnic site. If you're having a picnic, don't do it on a windy day as your picnic will likely end up in the North Sea/Channel. Walking trails are very uneven so wear proper walking boots. Mixture of trails: downhill/uphill/level. Uphill trails are not suitable for unfit people. Most of the walking trails are mercifully dog-poo free though you still have to be careful not to step into something unpleasant. Also lots of horse manure about (nearby stables). Great walking though on a dry day in spring. Lots of nice wild flowers too.
Beautiful views across our county from here! There is a footpath (though rugged) that you can wander along too.
It can get pretty busy but folk soon disperse along The Downs.
Great spot for a picnic 👍
What a view! This hilltop is a hidden gem for sure. Someone told me to come here and visit and I'm definitely not dissapointed. Great views, free parking and nice walking trails to just soak in nature and fresh air. There are quite a few interesting birds doing some aerobatics in the sky that's quite cool.
The car park usually closes at 6pm sharp and the wardens are strict with that so be aware. Bring some drinks and food maybe a pair of binoculars and you could have a nice long walk with some great scenery.
