A great view from around 200 metres up, but not much to see in this shot looking west. That, though, is the point. In 1821 the specified sum was paid for the site here used for a node on the London to Portsmouth semaphore line. Tom Holmes judged this node "... the most remote and inaccessible site of any!".

Part of the building still stands as does an avenue of chesnut trees planted by the first operators.
