Ockley sits on Stane Street, the Roman Road between London and Chichester. As you pedal through the village there are plenty of quaint old buildings to catch your eye and views up to Leith Hill and the tower, prominent in the clearing of trees. It is thought that a significant battle in Anglo Saxon / Viking history was fought here in 851 in which the Danes were defeated. The battle was fought at a place called Aclea and although it is not known exactly where this is, Aclea translates as Oak Lea which may in turn reference Ockley.
