Barpham Hill, located in the county of Sussex, England, is a prominent hill that stands at an elevation of approximately 206 meters (676 feet) above sea level. Situated in the South Downs, this chalk hill is a notable landmark in the area, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Covered in lush greenery and dotted with vibrant wildflowers during the spring and summer months, Barpham Hill is a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers alike. Its gentle slopes and well-maintained footpaths make it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.

The hill is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with the presence of various plant species such as wild thyme, cowslips, and harebells. These, in turn, attract a variety of wildlife, including butterflies, bees, and birds, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching and nature photography.

At its summit, one can find a small trig point, marking the highest point on the hill. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby villages, farmland, and the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park.

With its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, Barpham Hill offers visitors a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, providing a perfect opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the picturesque scenery that Sussex has to offer.

Track towards Burpham High Barn

The track leads SSW towards Burpham High Barn. In the original image, buildings there are visible - close to the lowest point on the skyline, near the right-hand margin. On the left-hand side of the picture, the clump of trees on the skyline is known as Norfolk Clump. Photo taken on the last day of September, 2015. I stood on much the same spot four years earlier, and pointed my camera in much the same direction to take: TQ0510 : A foggy day on the Downs (1)
