South Harting
South Harting is a village within Harting civil parish in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It lies on the B2146 road, 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Petersfield in Hampshire.
South Harting has two churches, one Anglican and one Congregational, plus a school and a pub.
The National Trust property Uppark sits high on the South Downs, 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village on the B2146.
The most prominent building here is The Anglican parish church of St Mary and St Gabriel is at the southwestern end of the village street, in an elevated position. It has a coppered spire on the tower and a peal of six bells. Major restoration work was carried out in the 1850s, and In 2010 further improvements were made including the building of an attached room for the Sunday school.
In the churchyard is the tall South Harting War Memorial Cross, (1920) a World War I memorial by Eric Gill.
This view is from Harting Down which is an area of open downland on the scarp slope of the South Downs just to the south of South Harting. It's a special place because of the spectacular views it gives of the countryside to the north. The Down is now managed as a nature reserve.
The Down contains wild grassland which incorporates many interesting wild flowers and wildlife like dragonflies. There's also an Iron Age earthwork, although there are plenty of other such features all along the top of the Downs in this part of West Sussex.
Harting Down is within The South Downs National Park which is England's newest National Park, having become fully operational on 1 April 2011. The park, covering an area of 1,627 square kilometres (628 sq mi) in southern England, stretches for 140 kilometres (87 mi) from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east through the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. The national park covers the chalk hills of the South Downs (which on the English Channel coast form the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head) and a substantial part of a separate physiographic region, the western Weald, with its heavily wooded sandstone and clay hills and vales. The South Downs Way spans the entire length of the park and is the only National Trail that lies wholly within a national park.
