Erringham Hill is private farmland. However, adjacent is the Mill Hill Nature Reserve. Please note that the chalk paths can get slippery when wet.
Things to see: Unimproved species rich chalk grassland, scrub, mature scrub and secondary woodland. One of the best butterfly sites in Sussex with over 29 species recorded. Chalk grassland is part of a Sussex habitat Action Plan and Mill Hill has over 160 recorded species of flowering plants and up to 30 recorded species per metre. The reserve has spectacular views over the River Adur, over surrounding downland and south out to sea. Butterflies include Adonis Blue. The reserve is noted for its display of yellow horseshoe vetch in spring, visible for miles.

About Ye Ole Survey Monuments
|
 |
Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).
YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.
Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the YOSM Website
If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
