Such a beautiful place to visit, with breath taking views for miles around. Dog friendly, with pathways across the main section if weather inclement.There is a national trust visitor centre where u can enjoy a cuppa although as per usual it can be a little pricey.

Visited for a quick walk while driving up north from London. It is such a beautiful setting, we followed the well trodden paths to the tree cathedral which is lovely. It was great to see many children out flying kites. We would absolutely return here again for a full day visit.

Great views from the top of the ridge and a good place to fly a kite. I started from the visitor center car park heading right. There are a few other parking spots along the top of the trail.Views from the top of ridge are spectacular. The route is sign posted and paved until near the burial mounds. The circular walk also taking in the nearby tree cathedral too about 2 hours at a leisurely pace.

Went kite flying with the kids (or kite retrieving as it was at one point!), always a perfect place for a picnic, scenic views and an open space, something to do for everyone! Also looks just as good at night time (just try to avoid looking in other cars in case of doggers)

Beautiful area for walkers, dogs, kite-fliers, runners, and MTBers. The café is alright, too.

This is an outstanding place for a walk and to take pictures. There are wonderful views and plenty of parking (£3.5/day) spaces nearby. During the summer, you will have ice cream vans parked out here as well. I haven't been in the visitors center but it looks well equipped and it has facilities.
