Ditchling Beacon is the third highest point on the South Downs. On the surrounding open grassland and sheep-grazed areas you can find many flowers and herbs typical of chalk grassland– marjoram, thyme, Round-headed Rampion, Twayblade and Fragrant orchid to name but a few. Ditchling Beacon is also the site of an early Iron Age hill fort (700BC). Its name comes from two periods of history. Ditchling has Saxon origins and ‘Beacon’ was added when the hill was part of a line of fires lit to warn of the Spanish Armada invasion.
