Denbies Hillside, offering views towards Leith Hill, the highest point in southeast England, is an excellent spot for wildlife watching.

Named after John Denby, a 17th-century farmer, the hillside is home to a diverse array of plants and animals, including Adonis blue and chalkhill blue butterflies.

The chalk downland at White Down provides even more spectacular views and conceals several Second World War pillboxes, built to defend against a Nazi invasion.

To the west of Denbies Hillside lies Hackhurst Downs, where you can enjoy the vistas overlooking the Tillingbourne Valley.
