Walbury Hill, Summit in Combe, United Kingdom
Located in the North Wessex Downs, Walbury Hill reaches 297 meters, making it the highest point in South East England and the tallest chalk hill.
The Iron Age hillfort of Walbury Camp occupies the summit, with archaeological findings indicating continuous human settlement patterns over several thousand years.
The area contains multiple ancient barrows and burial mounds, reflecting the deep connection between early inhabitants and this elevated geographical location.
Multiple car parks near the earthworks provide access points, while a network of trails allows visitors to approach the summit from different directions.
A triangulation pillar marks the summit in the middle of a sheep-grazed field, with the Kennet Valley and Kennet & Avon Canal visible below.
