A walk to Butts Brow

Butts Brow is part of the South Downs and overlooks Willingdon Eastbourne it is a popular spot with walkers dog owners cyclists and car owners who just sit in the car park with a flask and snack.
It`s elevated position gives fine 180` panoramic views of the surrounding area.
We visited today for a walk and a chance for some fresh air, the weather was cold and windy with a watery sun so I took a few photographs while the sun was in the right position.
I was sad to see there is now a charge to park a car and I didn`t like the barbed wire that was obvious in several places.


A sign of the times and nasty barbed wire too

I can only assume it tasted fine



The afternoon mist was beginning to form when I took this

  1. It looks pretty soggy, even up there on the downs. That last picture is a great composition. The gate really attracts the eye: a sort of focal point.

    1. I agree most pictures need a focal point Mark I am also of the opinion that if the sky has nothing to add to a picture leave it out

  2. That looks to be an ideal, and welcome, walk for this time of year in the sunshine. Cheers.
