See Eight Counties from the Top of St Martha’s Hill
Some say that on a clear day you can see eight counties from the top of St Martha’s Hill! I am not sure about that but the views are picturesque and we did pick out Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill, Blackdown and Chinthurst Hill.
St Martha’s Hill and Colyers Hanger
Accessible only on foot, St Martha’s Hill has been a place of worship since Norman times and its beautiful views makes it easy to see why.
At the very top is St Martha-on-the-Hill church.
The Paths
The paths to the top of the hill are sandy, steep and uneven in places. It took us about 20 minutes to reach the top at a child’s pace.
The Other Trails
There are other trails shown on the information board and in the car park, one of which is easy access.
