View from the Pegsdon Hills

Highlight • Natural

Amazing views on a clear day

Tip by

1.66 km

The Pegsdon Hills are accessible from the small village of Pegsdon. Try incorporating part of the Icknield Way path to the South or adding the villages of Hexton or Pirton for a longer loop. The Raven at Hexton and the Motte and Bailey at Pirton are great places for a hallway or end of walk refreshment. 🍻

Deacon Hill summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

Deacon Hill (172m), from which there are stunning views in essentially any direction (as long as you don't stare at your boots) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (the summit area is rich in plant species, and there are birds here such as buzzards and numerous species of butterflies, too).

There is a bench to sit on as well. The hill is a gorgeous place to be and marvel at the beauty of the world.
