The little detour from the classical London Brighton epic ride is worth some stunning views. Can be quite windy though!

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

Nice enough trig pointed hilltop and easy enough to get to with grand views out over the South Downs.

This is a beautiful spot, there is a trig point that is placed on one of the ramparts of the actual Iron Age hillfort here. It is very popular with walkers, and families. The valley bowl is also particularly beautiful.

Worth the short detour off the main road, for some stunning views over this chalk dry valley.
