The Trundle (St Roche's Hill)
The Trundle
A Downland summit crowned by an Iron Age hillfort, overlooking Goodwood Racecourse, Chichester Cathedral and the coast.
The Trundle rises to about 206 metres. Its summit bears earthworks from a Neolithic enclosure and an Iron Age ring-fort. From the top you can look down on the neighbouring Goodwood Racecourse, south toward the spire of Chichester Cathedral and Chichester Harbour, and, on clear days, as far as the Isle of Wight and the Spinnaker Tower. There is a car park at the foot, and the walk up takes about 15 minutes. Entry is free. The hill is about 7 km north of Chichester city centre, making it a good spot for a sunset, and it can be combined with the Weald & Downland Living Museum.
