Cissbury Ring
Cissbury Ring, in the South Downs National Park, is the largest hill fort in Sussex and has a history dating back over 5,000 years. Set high up on a chalk promontory, on a clear day you can see forever, with views across to the chalk cliffs beyond Brighton and as far as the Isle of Wight.
Cissbury Ring is a great place to spot butterflies. Why not walk the National Trust’s butterfly trail and explore the rich flora and fauna.
