Tips from locals
A well known Sussex landmark cared for by the National Trust treasured for it's beauty, it's history and it's views. It's the largest hill fort in Sussex and second largest in England. It's a designated Scheduled monument for its Neolithic flint mine and Iron Age hillfort.
Get out into the fresh air and enjoy the wide-open spaces of the South Downs. Learn about Cissbury Ring's ancient history and see the conservation ponies grazing. Lovely place for a walk!
This is a great place for a walk and views of the local area and seaside and fun for a picnic too. You can drive to the bottom and then walk up from the carpark in about 20 minutes, maybe a bit longer with kids. You then reach the ring at the top and have lovely views!
Cissbury Ring A little inland but worth a visit One very rewarding excursion in to the South Downs is this Iron Age hill fort for only three miles from the centre of Worthing. Formed sometime around 250 BC, Cissbury Ring is on an isolated hilltop at Worthing’s highest point, and has awesome views in all directions. Up here you can make out Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower, Beachy Head near Eastbourne and the Isle of Wight. The fort is the second largest in the UK, spreading over 60 hectares and encircled with ditches and banks where the fort’s colossal wall used to stand. Human activity at Cissbury Ring goes back much further as a Neolithic flint mine burrows into the hill, with shafts up to 12 metres deep
