There is an oasis of undeveloped green space at the peak of the Down between [[Hollingbury]], [[Hollingdean]], and [[Coldean]]. At its centre is '''[[Hollingbury Castle]]''' or Hillfort ({{Gbmappingsmall|TQ 322 078}}).This [[Iron Age hill fort|Iron Age hillfort]] is a [[Scheduled monument|scheduled ancient monument]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hillfort, the possible remains of a Romano-Celtic temple and a group of three bowl barrows at Hollingbury, Non Civil Parish – 1014526 {{!}} Historic England|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1014526|access-date=4 October 2021|website=historicengland.org.uk|language=en}}</ref> of [[Iron Age]] date, whilst the four mounded [[round barrow]]s within its ramparts are made by [[Bronze Age]] people, who held this place sacred.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hillfort, the possible remains of a Romano-Celtic temple and a group of three bowl barrows at Hollingbury, Non Civil Parish – 1014526 {{!}} Historic England|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1014526|url-status=live|access-date=17 October 2021|website=Historic England|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181222173255/https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1014526 |archive-date=22 December 2018 }}</ref> There are thickets of gorse which shine yellow in spring and are home to [[Common linnet|linnets]] and goldfinch. [[European stonechat]] is a familiar bird, too, and the rarer [[whinchat]] and [[redstart]] are seen regularly on passage to and from their breeding grounds. The soil within and around the camp has a layer of superficial acidity, with [[sorrel]], [[Bent grass|bent-grass]], and [[tormentil]] growing there.<ref name=":2" />

To the south is Hollingbury Golf Course, the '''Roedale allotments''' and '''Hollingbury Park''' ({{Gbmappingsmall|TQ 314 075}}). The park was originally part of the golf course. Its Edwardian pavilion was the original (circa 1908) clubhouse. East of the Park is the two-century-old '''Hollingbury Woods''', now full of the rotting carcasses of [[beech]] giants toppled in the [[Great storm of 1987|1987 gale]]. It is a popular walk, with Fittleworth Stone walks, glades, and benches. It has received the loving care of a local "Friends" group for many years now.<ref name=":2" />[[File:Footpath_towards_Moulsecoomb_Wild_Park_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1832847.jpg|thumb|Footpath towards Moulsecoomb Wild Park]]
To the west of Moulsecoombe is '''Wild Park''' ({{Gbmappingsmall|TQ 327 080}}). The park is a valley/coombe which runs down from Hollingbury Castle and was opened in 1925. In the 1850s the valley, then known as Hollingbury Coombe, was one of the most famous of Sussex sites for lepidopterists (butterfly and moth experts), but [[Dark green fritillary|dark green]] and [[silver-washed fritillary]] and [[Hesperia comma|silver-spotted skipper]], once present in numbers, are rarely seen there now. Despite this, there are parts which are still rich in diversity and it is still good for butterflies. In spring one may still see the [[green hairstreak]] or [[Orange-Tip Butterfly|orange-tip]] or find the wacky small [[bloody-nosed beetle]] and there are still [[Adonis blue|adonis]], [[Chalkhill blue|chalkhill]] and [[common blue]]s and [[brown argus]] and [[glowworm]]s in midsummer. There are also orchids, [[harebells]], sheets of [[Cistaceae|rockrose]], [[Round-headed rampion|Sussex rampion]], [[Devil's bit scabious|devil's-bit]], and [[Carline Thistle|carline thistle]]. In autumn there are fungi too, including [[Boletus edulis|penny-bun bolete]], [[collared earthstar]], [[Phallaceae|stinkhorn]], and [[Coprinus comatus|shaggy inkcap]] in the circling woods.<ref name=":2" />
