I love Cissbury, I've been visiting Cissbury for years, for picnics, walks, kite flying and just looking at the gorgeous views. There are a couple of ways up to the top and 2 car parks, neither of which is very big. The entrance to one is off a residential road. The other one you have to drive along a narrow country road for a bit and the parking is a lot bumpier and smaller but it's a shorter walk then the other car park. But which ever one you choose it is a fairly steep climb. It can get slippery in the winter and after a lot of rain, so good walking boots are sensible then. Love having the horses up here as well, they are great for photos as are the views. Our son loves to kite fly up here as well. This is a place I will visit for a long time to come.

This is one of my favourite walking areas. Once at the top, you get gorgeous 360 degree views. The ring can be reached from trails on many sides with different gradients. This spring, April 2018, some wild horses from the New Forrest were roaming the hilltop. Apparently they had been relocated there which adds a fun element for kids. Not sure if they are permanent. The walk up is not hard, unless you come straight up the north side trail. It's absolutely magical on a foggy day, usually early morning when the fog hangs in the low lands on the north side and you rise above it. Enjoy!

Magical little piece of heaven. I bring my daughter almost 5years old to escape the madness of everyday. We play ball, run up hills,I run down hills chasing the ball that she loves to try and get past me. She just laughs at me chasing this damn ball. But that's why it's magical, because I love to see her little smiling face and hear her laughter. Not to mention the wild ponies, they are surely my daughter's reason for climbing to the top and then hunting for them in the wood lands. Just to get a glimpse. It's beautiful this place a little piece of heaven ❤️

A great scenic place with a large iron age hillfort with lovely views of Chanctonbury Ring, Devils Dyke and Worthing. You can see the 100 wind farms out at sea on a clear day. Ponies graze the hillfort in winter, so best to keep any dogs on a lead. There are plenty of walks but wear suitable footwear as the chalk soil (footpaths) can make the walk hazardous after rainfall. There is a small car park at the bottom of the hill, which only accommodates about a dozen cars - its free, although I think there's National Trust donation box nearby?

Nice old hill fort. Great place for a picnic in summer or a windy walk in winter. It’s a relatively easy climb up to the top with stepped paths for the steep bits. At the top there’s a great panoramic view. There are horses grazing here so keep dogs on leads. At the top there are some benches and circular paths around the perimeter. There are a couple of very small car parks nearby which fill up quickly so you’ll likely find you need to park far away and walk here.

Fabulous first trip here, goals were fresh air and exercise and history homework! All achieved. Quite hard going getting up the hills, not for the feint hearted, but certainly worth it for the views and the descent! I did see people of all ages and abilities there, although not wheelchair accessible. Free parking, no facilities. Felt like being in the New Forest! Highly recommend (lots and lots of dog walkers so good for that too)
