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.
