About Martin Down
Martin Down is one of the largest areas of chalk grassland in the country, supporting a wide variety of downland flowers, plus butterflies and birds, including the Skylark. The down is rich in archaeology, dating from the Neolithic Bokerley Ditch to the Rifle Range used during the Second World War. |
