QR code research project on the South Downs
Strategic points in the National Park and South Downs Way will feature QR codes, mainly on waypost markers, at key points of interest across the South Downs, throughout June to August.
QR codes are likely to be featured across East and West Sussex at Old Winchester Hill Fort, East Meon, Butser Hill, Harting Down, Graffham Down, Bignor Hill, Amberley, Arundel, Chactonbury Ring, Bramber Castle and a few selected other interesting locations in the South Downs National Park.
About the beautiful South Downs
The new South Downs National Park
Created in 2011, the South Downs National Park covers an area of 1,600 square km, offering a landscape as diverse as it is breath-taking along a clear 100 mile (160km) trail. National Park status means that the natural special qualities that make the South Downs a place to be treasured and enjoyed can now be preserved for future generations.
Recognised as an area of outstanding beauty, the South Downs is also home to a multitude of vibrant working communities steeped in history and traditional English culture, from the ancient cathedral city of Winchester in the west to the busy market town of Lewes in the east.
Green pastures, open spaces, river valleys and ancient woodlands enshrine the Park’s ethos of being one of ‘Britain’s Breathing Spaces’.
There's loads to see and do - walking, cycling or horse riding across the Downs, climbing Beacon Hill or Ditchling Beacon, exploring wildlife in the wetlands, visiting local heritage sites or experiencing opera at Glyndebourne.
The South Downs Way
The South Downs Way covers East Sussex and Hampshire and West Sussex and offers a real opportunity to escape the bustle of everyday life. You can walk through ancient woodlands, watch roe deer in wildflower meadows, witness hares boxing or even spot a red kite hunting.
