Description:
Steep chalk downland on the Isle of Wight with good views and a large number of flowers and butterflies.
This is the largest area of unimproved chalk downland on the central chalk ridge of the Isle of Wight. The steep south-facing slope contains an abundance of chalk grassland plants, which in turn support many butterflies. From the top of the Down there are excellent views to the south over the Eastern Yar Valley.
