South Downs National Park wasn’t officially named a national park until 2011, making it the newest addition to the UK’s roster of nationally recognized outdoor natural areas. Inside South Downs National park, visitors will find the famous Seven Sisters—stunning white chalk cliffs that border the coast of the English Channel—but also within the park’s borders are gorgeous rolling hills full of heather and hedged farmland, grasslands, ancient walking paths, and an abundance of wildlife such as otters, skylarks, bats, the rare silver-spotted skipper butterfly, barn owls, and some rare plants like the sundew, which is a carnivorous plant.
