Butser Hill

Highlight • Natural Monument

Standing at 889 feet (271 m) tall, Butser Hill is the highest point on the South Downs and affords breathtaking views over Hampshire and the Channel. The chalk grassland has been designated as a national nature reserve due to its rare flora and fauna. Part of the hill is an ancient scheduled monument, too.
