Beautiful short walk from the downs to Arreton Barns. Please remember to keep your dogs on the lead to respect the land. There are often cows in the fields and a beautiful grave site. Quite a steep hill to walk back up so only go if you’re able!

Dog owners...please please keep your dogs on lead! There are signs all around explaining this requirement due to ground nesting birds. If you hear the lovely skylarks sing once, you'd never want to hurts those beautiful animals. Please respect nature and respect bird lovers.
