This walk climbs steadily up Danebury Hill, leading onto a broad chalk summit where open grassland and wide views stretch across the surrounding countryside.

Danebury is also one of the best-preserved Iron Age hillforts in England, with visible ramparts and earthworks that still clearly outline its ancient defensive structure.

The walk

Short Route

This short but rewarding route climbs up to the top of Danebury Hill.

The ascent is brief but steady, leading onto the broad summit where open grassland and wide views give the walk a real sense of space.

It’s a simple countryside outing with a touch of history, as the hill is crowned by the remains of an Iron Age hillfort.
