Lovely place to visit for a few different walks. The cafe on site, food was really nice, staff were lovely too. Made the day better as weather was really good for the views.
Great scenic hot spot for walks and exploring.. both the white horse side where you can watch the gliders. Or walk along the top of the cliff on the same side as the tourist centre, gorgeous views.. loads of parking.. only issue is there isn't many bins around
Great visitors centre with plenty information for the walks and mountain bike trails, cafe, and reasonably priced parking. You'll need at least 2 hours if you're going to venture any further than the immediate viewpoint on foot. To do the top of Kilburn White horse, it's on a 4km loop. There's a m/bike hire centre on site if that's your fancy. The closest viewpoint is just about doable by wheelchair with an experience aid.
Did the red trail, there are some incredible views and nice flowly single track sections. Two gripes one is the constant need to open and close gates damages flow, few too many concessions to land owners. The other is the road sections put you in conflict with traffic years ago you wouldn't see anyone on those roads but now they are in places fast and busy. Overall enjoyed it but 90% was achievable with an os map before they added signs which are handy and easily visible. Cafe was very good.
Stunning views, lovely walks and a fascinating history to learn about. Relatively flat if you walk the main route to the white horse, so suitable for disabled access. You do have to pay for parking but didn't mind because of how beautiful and well kept the nature trails were. Definitely would visit again.
