Whitehawk Hill, Nature reserve in Brighton, United Kingdom
Whitehawk Hill rises above Brighton with chalk grassland areas that support colonies of Adonis and Chalkhill Blue butterflies throughout the grounds.
The Whitehawk Camp near the hilltop stands as the first Scheduled Ancient Monument in Sussex, dating back over 5500 years with four white chalk walls.
The hill serves as a meeting point for community activities, featuring excavated artifacts including pottery, flint tools, and ancient burial sites displayed at Brighton Museum.
Visitors can reach Whitehawk Hill via bus routes 21 and 37, with limited street parking available near the entrance points.
From the summit, visitors can see the Isle of Wight on clear days while sheep graze below the Brighton Racecourse grandstand.
