Freshcombe ({{gbmappingsmall|TQ 230 092}}) is owned by the National Trust, but was leased away from their management{{When|date=January 2023}}. It is threatened by scrub expansion and insufficient grazing. Its slopes have very old [[gorse]] thickets; they are shown as well-established on the 1873 [[OS map]], and may be centuries older than that.

This is the only site in the [[South Downs]] that contains the plant [[saw-wort]], which looks like a slimmer version of [[knapweed]], and still blooms profusely in a little glade amongst the gorse. It is a survivor from the days of the Downland heaths. It survives here because the soil must have a strong clay-with-flints influence. The glade where it blooms also contains flowers of [[Betonica officinalis|betony]], [[red clover]], [[hawkbit]], and [[St John's wort]].<ref name=":0" /><sup>:213</sup>
