Hill with beautiful view on surrounding area. Short walk from public car park to top
This is a beautiful hilltop that is a great place to chill out. There are great views down over the South Downs to be had from here.
Love this place walked through the woods today onto a private path through someone's field which you can do as long as you stay on yhe path has stunning views lots of wildlife
Nice place for a walk. The nature reserve itself is quite small but a good jumping off point for some longer walks around this part of Hampshire. Good views over the rolling hills. Smallish car park with a voluntary payment. Also additional parking along the verges.
Stunning, good parking for about 8-10 cars. Walk along the South Downs Way down to Exton for lunch
