This is a charming church featuring a square tower which is characteristic of Sussex's medieval architecture. In front of the church is a bench where you can stop and pause before continuing your journey.

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

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people revered as saints, but to the archangel MICHAEL. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

If you choose to skirt the village to the south on the Ditchling to Lewes Road, watch out for a section of pink road by the half moon pub. It climbs steeply whilst cornering and is an important place to adopt an assertive road position so that you remain visible .

This is a charming church and one which was mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Now surrounded by the modern campus of Plumpton Agricultural College, St Michael's still manages to be a delightful little church, consisting of just nave, chancel and porch, with the most robust of towers capped by a shingle broach spire.

Plumpton is a charming village of two halves. The southern end of the village is cut across by the South Downs Way near the site of an Early Bronze Age settlement. North of the track is a chalk-cross with a sandstone block at its centre, which commemorates the Battle of Lewes in 1264.
