BBH Viewpoint

The view from BBH Viewpoint hits you straight away - proper wide vistas across Sussex farmland that stretch further than you'd expect from this corner of the South East. It's the kind of spot locals know and visitors often miss, tucked away near Horsham without the fanfare of the big South Downs lookouts.

What you're doing here is straightforward: standing and looking. No café, no visitor centre, no bells and whistles. Just panoramic countryside that changes character depending on the light and season. On a clear day the depth is genuinely impressive. Come when the fields are green rather than ploughed brown, and it'll stay with you.

This works best for walkers who are already in the area or couples after a proper countryside vantage point without the crowds. Families with younger kids might find it a bit thin on activity - there's nothing to do once you've taken the photos, and it's not a destination in itself. Fifteen minutes and you're done.

Given the proximity to Knepp Wildland Safaris and Goweco Glamping, both rated 5 out of 5, the viewpoint slots in nicely as a morning or afternoon breather during a wider Sussex itinerary. You're looking at a quick diversion rather than a reason to book a holiday, but if you're based at either of those parks, it's absolutely worth the six-mile pop over. Free to visit, no facilities to speak of, best in spring or early autumn when the light's kinder.
