Elsted and Wild Combe Camping
A small and peaceful south downs village, a traditional country pub, far-reaching views and an off grid campsite. This corner of West Sussex near Midhurst is an absolute gem!
Wildhams Wood
Wildham Wood is situated just east of the beautiful village of Stoughton in spectacular West Sussex countryside. Although the area is popular with cyclists and walkers, the woods have a wonderfully isolated atmosphere. In May the forest floor is thick with wild garlic and bluebells creating one of nature’s most breath-taking scenes.
Temple of the Winds
If you want to find what could well be the best views in The South Downs National Park, then head to The Temple of the Winds on The National Trust managed Black Down, near Haslemere. You will be able to follow easy and flat trails in the footsteps of former local resident Alfred Lord Tennyson to the highest point in the national park.
Creech Wood
Creech Wood near Denmead is an easy to explore mainly coniferous woodland with a network of firm paths. It has an interesting history having once been part of the Medieval Forest of Bere and more recently the site of a WWII encampment.
Cheesefoot Head
On the downs above Winchester, the quirkily named Cheesefoot Head is an area of far reaching views with a network of paths including the South Downs Way. In the summer there are meadows of wildflowers and often fields of blue linseed.
West Dean Woods
Truly wild daffodils are becoming increasingly less common, so this flourishing patch is rather special. You can find it inside West Dean Woods, near Chichester.
Swanmore to St. Clair’s Meadow
A delightful country walk connecting Swanmore and Soberton with sections beside The River Meon and along The Meon Valley Trail.
