Highdown Hill

Highdown Hill is a prominent hill in the South Downs, as its name suggests, reaching a height of 81 metres (266 ft). It has been managed in a sensitive way for many year making it an imporant site of wildlife and chalk grassland flower. It is a popular spot for picnickers, dog-walkers and local riders. With view across to Littlehampton, Angmering, Ferring and Worthing with views, when the weather is good, east as far as the Seven Sisters and west to the Isle of Wight.

If you are in the area, a walk up Highdown Hill gives you wonderful views across the downs, town and towards the sea. A great place for dog walks, family walks and picnics and photography. Proximity to the tea rooms, hotel, bar and restaurant mean that you can combine the walk with refreshments.

Caesar's Camp

Reviewed By robertgrieve24 - Folkestone, United Kingdom

Caesars Camp offers amazing views of Folkestone and the Channel. Our family have been walking along there for many years. Once you reach the top, a panorama view of the whole area greets you. from Capel Hill, across all Folkestone and Hythe and the coast round to Dungeness Power Station. Often I have watched the world go by, from this vantage point. The, turn round and view the countryside behind, such as Hawkinge. The climb down and plenty of walks continue along the North Downs and the Saxon ways.

We walked from East Dean to Birling gap and then walked along to Beachy Head from there. Beautiful views of the cliffs and the National Trust centre at Birling was a good stop for cafe and toilets, plus dog-friendly.The volunteer from South Africa was incredibly helpful and even offered us a lift if we couldn't walk anymore!

Old Roar Gill

Reviewed By teethaddict - London, United Kingdom

We spontaneously decided to visit old roar gill (without reading tips on here) and followed google directions which took us to Penhurst drive which was completely wrong! We ended up going to Alexandra park and they have sign postings for it after you get to the information point and the park cafe. The sign postings get quite scarce so we did get a little lost but just remember you need to get out of the park and cross the main road and re enter the park. Locals are really friendly and happy to help so ask! If you want to access the walk quicker park your car on St Helens road and enter the park through one of the entrances through there. The walk from the park to the beginning of old roar gill is 2km. Then the trek through the woodlands to the waterfalls is about 10 minutes. The treck is so beautiful we went in heavy rain and it was very slippery and muddy and wouldn’t recommend bringing toddlers. The path is very off beaten and buggy’s wouldn’t be possible. After we finished we ended up on the beginning of Ghyllside avenue (door numbers around 1-10) with a street of houses and civilisation! These people are so lucky to have this as practically their back garden! There was lots of water in the falls but it was raining very heavily and I can imagine on sunny/drier days the falls are probably not as spectacular! A great urban water fall and would definitely do it again!
