This beautiful woodland hill park nestled in the South Downs is a great place to walk, and it has excellent facilities. The forest has an excellent network of walking and cycling trails to explore. You can also head West on the South Downs Way through the nature reserve and up to the stunning views from Butser Hill, or East over to Harting Downs and back round for a long loop.
