Butser Hill is the highest point on the South Downs Way and the descent from the flat summit to Queen Elizabeth Country Park (QECP) is not to be missed.
Tea and cakes in QECP Visitor Centre cafe will give you the energy to cycle through the forest back up to the South Downs ridge above Buriton. Then follows a gentle descent and a sharp climb through country lanes to Chalton and the fascinating Butser Ancient Farm.
The trail passes two pubs, one at Chalton and the other at Clanfield before returning via the South Downs Way at Tegdown Hill.
