This viewpoint at Hurtwood is adorned by Converse, an accessible artwork that's intended for groups to sit around and communicate or simply take in the views in golden silence. It's specially designed so that wheelchairs can comfortably fit into the gaps between the three benches, which are arranged in a circle. The views are excellent, with both the Weald and the South Downs on show.

The open summit of Holmbury Hill offers beautiful panoramic views. A delightful toposcope adds to the pleasure allowing you to identify features over 20 miles away. For example, from here on a clear day it is straightforward to see the prehistoric hill fort of Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs located 20 miles (32 km) due south. Holmbury Hill is one of the three classic Surrey hills - along with Box Hill and Leith Hill - included in the ‘Surrey Three Peaks Challenge’. This 23-mile (37 km) round trip is comparable in distance to the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge but has a third less climbing. For less energetic hikers there is also a pleasant shorter three peaks Surrey walk comprising Pitch Hill, Holmbury Hill and Leith Hill which has a round trip length of 12 miles (19 km).

The highest cricket green in the south east of England, this has to be one of the most picturesque places to play. If you are out walking on a Sunday in the summer you may even be lucky enough to catch a game in action.
