This is a lovely short but vigorous walk to Kingley Vale Nature Reserve, with its grove of ancient yew trees set in chalk downland. Above the vale is Bow Hill, with its Devil's Humps (3 bronze age burial mounds). It also has views over Chichester harbour. A little further along the ridge is Goosehill Camp (Iron Age). A magical place to walk.
