A high point on the downs. You can see for miles up there. The bus from North Street will take you up there, it's not very regular but there's a pub up there you can hang around in.

A big tourist magnet. Be warned: although the view is nice it is just a fun fair out at sea. The pub at the end is pretty average for food and the fish restaurant in the middle isn't much better.
