I can recommend visiting the Long Man of Wilmington (it isn't an ancient Fertility symbol more an artificial 17th century tourist attraction, more fool, the faux American witches I saw there several years ago). However I can't recommend leaving the Long Man pub down the road, at 7.30pm, in January, several days after it snowed and then several days of negative temperatures froze it in place, and then climb straight up past it. There is a path but we decided that would take far too long to divert to it. It was not surprisingly steep.

This is quite a challenging walk, we got to the Birling Gap car park early to set off , please note that the cafe opens at 9.30am. The views were breathtaking, everywhere you looked. We stopped at the visitors centre and refuelled and continued the walk, again every footpath had a view, we can across another little cafe stop and continued on. My husband and I both agreed this has been our number one walk and will definitely be doing it again 😊

This is a beautiful nature trail. The path by the Cuckmere river is good and where the trail meets the Cuckmere river is a fantastic photo spot opportunity. The views up and down the river is gorgeous. This is especially so on a nice day like we had.

Keeping watch over the South Downs, The Long Man of Wilmington is one of Sussex’s most iconic features. At 72 metres, he’s the largest depiction of a human figure in Europe and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The Long Man of Wilmington cut into the chalk of the South Downs, has baffled archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years. Many people are convinced that he is prehistoric, whilst others believe that he is the work of an artistic monk from the nearby Priory created between the 11th and 15th centuries. There has been a lot of speculation as to his purpose. A fertility symbol? An Ancient warrior maybe? Early 18th century folly? An early representation of a Millwall fan?? No one knows? Visitors can view him from afar or walk across his form on the side of the Downs.

An amble up Firle Beacon in the South Downs of southern England. It is 217 metres high and is a Marilyn. It commands a far-reaching view. It is a trig pointed summit and a designated Marilyn.

Originally thought to be from the Bronze Age, the 'old man' (sometimes called the Willmington Giant) is actually from around the 16th Century. No less impressive though as you ride by. Well worth a stop to take it in.

Seaside town with a long stretch of pebbly beach, lots of seating and an all access promenade to stroll along the seafront. Plenty of parking along there too. An easy set off point for a walk over the cliffs to the seven sisters.
