Once you've tackled the hill, you'll find a bench at the top with fabulous views over Steyning Bowl, an impressive natural amphitheatre. This point intersects with the famous South Downs Way, a National Trail for hikers and cyclists along the chalky South Downs ridge.

This is a spectacular viewpoint over Steyning Bowl, an impressive natural amphitheater.

There's a bench on the gravel track here (part of the South Downs Way) to stop and admire the views.

Worth a stop after the grind to admire the view on a good day
