South Downs National Park
Stretching from the south coast at Eastbourne to the edge of Winchester taking in the most beautiful chalk downland, the villages of Kings Worthy, Headbourne Worthy, Abbots Worthy and Martyr Worthy all cross into or are totally within the the park. Not quite sure what it means to conservation and in particular our activities but it is still nonetheless very exciting.
