Information and Contacts

There are many sources of further information for Portsdown Hill :
  • In person
    The Portsdown Hill Countryside Officer is based as Fort Widley, Portsdown Hill Road.
    Due to the outdoor nature of his work, there is no guaranteed time he will be in the office, so it may be advisable to telephone first
  • Telephone
    (023) 9238 9623 (this has an answerphone facility)

There are Interpretation Boards throughout Portsdown Hill that highlight self-guided walks, explain the history of the Fort’s, illustrate the variety of wildlife and describe some of the grassland management techniques employed to maintain this precious chalk downland.

Information is also available in the form of a leaflet.  You can download a copy using the link below.

Portsdown Hill Countryside Service has many friends who have created their own working parties and information sources such as dedicated websites. You can find these using the 'External Links' to the right of the page.
