Travel Up Steep Hill To Crossroads, Go Left At Top And Approx 100 Yrds Turn Right Into Car Park. There Is A National Trust Sign Here But It Is Easy To Miss!! Large Free Car Park. Initial Path Up To Monument Wheelchair Friendly, But Not If You Take Any Of The Marked Routes And Steps Down To One Of The Routes Are Very Steep. Bits Of Walks Could Become Muddy After Rainfall, But Not To Bad. Nice Wooded Walks And Nice Areas To Picnic!

A Great Circular Walk With Some Gentle Inclines And Stunning Views. Generally A Mud-Free(Ish) Walk. Also Gateway To The Highest Point On The South Coast - Golden Cap. A Definite 'Must Walk' As It Is Breathtaking Up There. Keep Dogs On Leads At The Top Of The Cliff As There Have Been A Few Canine Deaths Where The Dog Has Chased A Seagull Over The Edge. :(
