Overview

 

An early Spring walk with splendid views. We’ll walk from East Meon, climbing up behind the church towards Park Hill, then skirting round Barrow Hill before beginning our gradual ascent of Butser Hill. After lunch on the summit, we’ll follow the South Downs Way to Mercury Park, Wether Down and Salt Hill before returning to our start point. Could be animals in the fields. 2 steep climbs.
