Parking at Harting Down is free for National Trust members but there are plenty of other places to park for free.
1. There was still a bit of snow left in this woodland of small silver birch.
2. King Alfred's Cakes, daldinia concentrica.
3. Pheasant tracks.
4. This is the only entrance to the deer enclosure. I can't find out any information about the enclosure but it is not maintained for the public although access is allowed so there are no marked paths or signposts. Looking at the map I reckon it covers an area of about 200 acres so if you go any distance make sure you have a map and compass. It can be quite disconcerting.
5. We only caught brief glimpses of the deer. Next time we visit we'll give ourselves more time and find somewhere to sit quietly. There is a definite feeling of wildness about the place and a fantastic assortment of yew trees.
6. The view over South Harting from Harting Down.
7. Approaching South Harting and looking back to Harting Down.
8. St Mary and St Gabriel Church, South Harting.
