Hiking

West Down Nature Reserve has downland, chalk heath, woodland and grassland habitats. As such, it is home to many species of plant and animal. Before nature reclaimed the site, however, it was an airfield until the 1950s (you can still see ruins in the woods) and a rubbish dump until the 1970s.
