Climbed the Highest Point in the South Downs, Black Down ‘Temple of the Winds’
This was one incredible hike in the blasting heat of the sun. From the village down below to the top of Black Down ‘Temple of the Winds’ was both magical and magnificent.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, a British poet, was so inspired by the views, surroundings and the wilderness of the Black Down ‘Temple of the Winds’, that he wrote a glorifying poem about the beauty. This is one of my most memorable hike and hill climbs within the South Downs National Park.
