Highdown Hill

Firstly please accept my apologies for the awful photos here, I had a scratch on my lens and didn't realise at the time so had to get rid of most of them! It's a shame though because the views are lovely here, and even on a pretty grey day like today you could see for miles.

It's easy to get to and park, and it is busy for that as is a popular place for walkers, dog walkers, and families and there's a nice little picnic area by the car park too.

There's a wealth of different pathways here so you can have a much longer walk if you wish. For my walk I took a left at the picnic area, the main trails to begin with pretty much run parralel to each other and I stuck to the main one on the right higher up the hill which goes past a little copse of trees at the top. Through the fields, you go through a kissing gate and through another large field, and as you get to the stables at the end of that field the path left can take you back in a loop to the start. That's the theory anyway, hopefully you'll be able to do that soon but due to a hole in the path the bridleway was shut today so not sure how long that will be the case, so today I just had to head back the way I came which was still a nice walk.

Lots of wide open spaces here so great for dogs to sprint around freely off the lead.
