South Downs
The South Downs has been known as a UK National Park since 2009. For the previous 60 years, he had simply been under state supervision. This reserve covers 1,600 km2 of land, which is located between Beachy Head in East Sussex and the border of Winchester in Hampshire. The South Downs is notable for its amazing natural landscapes, which are filled with dense forests, mountain ranges and a wonderful coastline.
Among environmentalists, this area is known as the "lungs" of this part of the country. The South Downs attracts many tourists who are attracted by the amazing chalk mountains, charming green expanses and blue ponds. Researchers have found that due to the updated status in the area, the number of visitors has increased significantly.
The South Downs Nature Reserve is especially appreciated among hikers, for whom special hiking trails have been developed here. Guests of the park also have a great opportunity to take a bike tour and even horseback riding.
Among the main attractions of the reserve is the Long Man of Wilmington, which is a figure carved into one of the local rocks, as well as the Clayton mills, which are also included in the tourist routes. In the park you can visit the Chattri Memorial, which was built in honor of the brave Indian fighters.
Particularly popular among tourists is the Beachy Head "Sky Pier", which is a huge cape. This rock has a size of 162 meters, which just hangs over the sea line. This natural landmark is not ignored by either photographers or ordinary tourists. But this area is also chosen by people tired of life, which is why it is popularly called "suicide Cape".
Of course, the South Downs National Park, along with its charming natural scenery, is one of the most fascinating places on Earth.
