Fox Hill is a prominent hill located in the Sussex region of England. Situated within the South Downs National Park, it forms part of the expansive chalk range that characterizes the area. With an elevation of approximately 200 meters (656 feet), Fox Hill is not classified as a mountain but is still a significant landmark in the region.

The hill is renowned for its stunning panoramic views, offering breathtaking vistas across the surrounding countryside. From the summit, visitors can admire the undulating landscapes of Sussex, with its patchwork of fields, woodlands, and picturesque villages. On clear days, it is even possible to catch a glimpse of the English Channel in the distance.

Fox Hill is also notable for its rich biodiversity, showcasing a variety of plant and animal species. The chalk grassland that covers much of the hill provides a habitat for numerous rare and protected plants, including orchids and wildflowers. The area is also home to a range of wildlife, such as butterflies, birds, and small mammals, making it an attractive destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Fox Hill holds historical and archaeological significance. The remains of ancient settlements and burial mounds have been discovered on its slopes, offering insights into the area's human occupation throughout the ages.

Overall, Fox Hill in Sussex offers a unique blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and historical importance. Its accessibility and stunning views make it a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and those seeking a tranquil escape in the heart of the South Downs.

Footpath 95CR climbing pond bay by Valebridge Mill site There is quite a lot of masonry to the left of the path, rather hard to photograph, and that is nearly all that is left of the mill and its house beyond.

Remains of Valebridge Mill Rather hard to photograph in bright dappled sunlight, there is a substantial masonry vertical rear face to the pond bay, but it is hard to work out how the mill fitted in, and all other traces visible are gone.

Tail race, former Valebridge Mill Mapped as having a sluice through the pond bay, but no mechanism was noted. The water probably largely comes from a drain from the north entering a short way below the pond bay.
