Mountain biking
The escarpment here and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The steeply sloping chalk grassland is rich in minibeasts, such as Adonis Blue and Small Blue butterflies, and the nationally rare and specially protected wart-biter cricket. Amongst the diverse plant life are squinancywort and eyebright – both classic medicinal herbs used to treat throat and eye infections respectively. The chalky soils and climate of the South Downs are suitable for growing wine, and a number of vineyards are making the most of conditions that are similar to the Champagne region of France.

Quite a steep walk up but beautiful views of Lewes from the top.

Def worth the detour down to The Juggs in Kingston. Long old trek back though :(
