Strip lynchets, Ringstead
Lynchets are man-made step or terrace on a hill slope, carved out to make land fit for cultivation by the plough. Some lynchets were deliberately created with stone facing on the 'riser' of the step supporting the level 'tread' above. Such lynchets often occur as a flight ascending a slope, creating a series of strip lynchets.
Historians generally agree that most lynchets were made between early Anglo Saxon times and the 16th century. The ones here are thought to be Early Medieval.

Ringstead: sheep on South Down
These grazers probably do not appreciate the magnificent views across to the Isle of Portland as much as do the many people who were up here at the National Trust car park today.

Stile on South Down, Ringstead
A footpath enters a large steep field on the side of a chalk hill above Ringstead. The National Trust car park is at the top of the hill. The two figures are climbing back up to make another descent on their land-boards. The hill is also used as a launching point for para-gliders.

Cows near South Down Farm, Ringstead
These cows were cautiously walking along the road from the farm to the fields, probably returning from milking. Behind them is South Down Farm and the steep chalk hillside of South Down.
