Trig point at the top of Black Down, West Sussex – view south west Black Down is the highest point in West Sussex and the South Downs National Park. As my two photos from the trig point show, the view to the south west has a more open aspect. A far better view is from the Temple of the Winds viewpoint, around half a mile to the south.
