What makes the South Downs National Park so Special?
The South Downs National Park covers an area of 1,600 km2 offering a landscape that is both varied and breathtaking.
These spaces include: Green rolling hills, open spaces, ancient woodlands and river valleys, busy towns and traditional villages, that are rich in history and offer lots of opportunities for cultural understanding and activity.
The South Downs is a living, working place that has changed over several thousands of years, and this is still the case today.
We all have a shared responsibility to care for the National Park and the South Downs National Park Authority works closely in partnership with local communities, conservation organisations, volunteers, local authorities, businesses and farmers.
