Opposite the cabin is Levin Down, a nature reserve and 'Site of Special Scientific Interest', due to its diverse flora and fauna. There are two ways to approach Levin Down: a short walk is to head 100m along Charlton Road towards Singleton then take the kissing gate in the hedge to your right. It's a steadily steepening walk across the field, then through two gates close together, after which you find yourself at the edge of the nature reserve. Bear left and continue uphill for great views back across the village and the valley towards Goodwood Racecourse. If you keep going, you come to another field on the west side of the Down, at which point you can either head down into Singleton or continue uphill to your right, up to the highest point on the Down, with views as far as the Isle of Wight. If you want a longer walk, turn right out of the cabin and head up North Lane, which very quickly becomes an unmade track. Up past the sheep barns on the right and beyond, the track bends left towards Levin Down. From here you have two options: head through the kissing gate on the left at the bottom of the slope, or follow the track as it bends right again and heads uphill. If you go through the gate, a nice walk is to keep close to the fence on the left and follow this path until you reach the top of the field that overlooks Charlton. Then back across the field and through the gate onto Charlton Lane - turn left on the lane and back into the village. If you're up for it, stay on the track as it bends round to the right. This takes you up to a gate at the north end of the field that sits on the very top of Levin Down. Go through the gate and turn left, following the tyre-tracks in the grass up to the highest point. From the very top of Levin Down, on a clear day you can see across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Proceed through the gate at the top, following the tyre tracks until the spire of Singleton Church comes into view in the valley below. When you see the church, walk directly towards this until you see a gate to your left - turn left and through the gate, into the nature reserve. Follow the path, which takes you along the side of Levin Down, gradually dropping down into the valley, through more gates until you reach the top of the field that overlooks Charlton. Then return to the village as outlined above.
