Kingley Vale is a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under European wildlife legislation, and is a wonderful place to explore. It is quite a trek to the top of the hill, but worth it for the ambience and the views. The most convenient car park is at West Stoke (no charge - grid reference SU 824 087). Head north along the footpath from the car park to the southern gate into the nature reserve. A waymarked 'nature trail' takes you through the yew woodland up the hill to the barrows.
