ヘイワーズヒースの天然記念物・トップ10

A very beautiful park with many old trees and beautiful plantings. The lakes form the center of the park. Old redwoods and sequoias are found here.

The Sussex Border Path is a long-distance footpath that is nearly 150 miles (241 km) long and goes around the county boundary of Sussex. It is a relatively new trail initiated in 1983, and since its inception, the route has only traced the county boundary. As Sussex has been split administratively into east and west for many years, there is now a new border path section running from East Grinstead to Brighton, reflecting these east and west sections. This is part of that section and runs from Ditchling Beacon to Fishersgate, or vice versa. The section is 12 miles (19 km) long and consists of Ditchling Beacon itself, sections of beautiful bridleways with sea views, and the famous Chattri Indian War Memorial.

At over 650 feet (200 m), Ditchling Beacon gives you a good climb and a great vantage point to see out over the surrounding countryside. To the north you look back at the lush countryside of the Weald, to the south are views of Brighton, and to the east and west, the rolling undulating views out over the South Downs.

Beautiful route over unpaved paths

Four lakes form the heart of the garden and at the end of the line of sight the Gothic castle rises on a hill. While you can explore all the paths in the garden and the adjacent parkland, the house is privately owned and cannot be visited. The design of the park and the expansion of the house were initiated by John Holroyd at the end of the 19th century. He and his wife spent a fortune to design the property according to their ideas. The park and garden were further designed according to the original plans by subsequent owners. Finally, the National Trust acquired the site and now looks after it.

This is a wonderful little rest stop if your hiking or a quick breather stop if your out running. This isolated pond is a veritable haven for the local wildlife and domestic animals. It is also a great photo stop too.

Ditchling Beacon is the highest point in East Sussex, England, with an elevation of 248 m (814 ft). It is south of Ditchling and to the north-east of Brighton. It is a large chalk hill with a particularly steep northern face, covered with open grassland and sheep-grazing areas.
