Blackcap is a National Trust owned area of countryside on the peak of the South Downs, just south east of the village of Plumpton in East Sussex, England. It is also mainly part of the Clayton to Offham Escarpment SSSI. The reserve contains the hills of Blackcap 206 metres in the parish of East Chiltington, Mount Harry 196 metres in the parish of Hamsey and the wooded area of Ashcombe Bottom in the parish of St John Without.
Walks can be taken starting low down by the road at the north, and then climbing steadily south up to the ridge, where there are views southwards. The flatter landscape is made up of scrubby open ground with chalk paths, surrounded by thickets . The steeper ground leading up to the ridge is low-density woodland. The top is very open, with patches of pine woodland and gorse bushes, and there is a triangulation point here.
