One of our favourite walks in Brighton not too far away to drive. Walking to and from the monument is around 5km. My children enjoy getting closer and closer to it in the distance. Beautiful view en route.

During the First World War injured Indian soldiers were hospitalised in the Royal Pavilion, Dome and Corn Exchange. The Royal Pavilion was the first Indian hospital to open in Brighton. The Hindus and Sikhs who died were cremated on the Downs and, in 1921, the Chattri memorial was constructed on the cremation site. Immediately to the south of the Chattri is Chattri Down Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), most of which is open access land. Chattri Down supports a species-rich chalk grassland habitat and is in the South Downs National Park. The views are spectacular and is a peaceful location to take a picnic to and enjoy the countryside.

The Chattri is a memorial built to honour the Indian dead of the First World War. ... and Sikh soldiers who died in Brighton war hospitals during 1914-1915. An unexpected gem of a monument. Take a picnic and enjoy the serenity.

Great views across Brighton to the sea - well worth the uphill walk.
