The South Downs National Park is home to some incredibly rare habitats and wildlife - but even here, nature is under pressure and needs our help.

'Nature Recovery' is a priority in our latest Partnership Management Plan. Learn more: buff.ly/EAWDee1 πŸ‘‹

Uh-oh, looks like snow ❄️

Check forecasts and stay safe if you're out rambling this weekend!

And keep cosy on the trail with our gear experts' recommendations of hats, gloves and socks for winter walking πŸ₯Ύβ„οΈπŸ‘‡

On the slopes of Black Down, miles of secluded walks lead through ancient oak, chestnut and beech hanger woodlands, and flower‑rich meadows.

The 280m-high hill top is the highest point in the National Park and boasts views across five counties and out to sea.

Light trails from two lit up windmill like things move across an indistinct night time background

Light trails from two lit up windmill like things move across an indistinct night time background

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
Like a @metwalkers.bsky.social wander round #CanaryWharf #WinterLights
Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon
… like the circles that you find in #ICM #photography

Abingdon Weir Walkway is temporarily closed due to high river level and flow putting the damaged structure at risk of failure. Thames Path diversion is signed on site and here www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/short-...

Feeling thankful today 😊

Early signs of new life emerging as nature starts to awake - very slowly and carefully - from its winter slumber 🌼
