Beautiful little village with a couple of great shops for refuelling

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.

About the patronage of this church: Saint ANDREW is one of the twelve apostles that Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in the biblical accounts he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his much more famous brother: Saint Peter. In the Gospels we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another disciple whose name is not mentioned). Later he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations. The X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross" on which he was executed forms the national flag of Scotland against a blue background and has also found its way into the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

This is a beautiful round towered church, it was a shame to see the graveyard so unkept. It very definitely needs a bit of ground maintenance.

Our Dan and T1 have given a great account of this lovely little church, and I fear I will only be treading on the toes of highlight giants if I add any more antecedent information on this church. With this being said, there are numerous park benches in the vicinity to rest a weary hiker's butt on, and there is a rather interesting green ‘bomb’ or mine on the edge of the village green!

Beautiful Alfriston is a local hub for walks up and down the Cuckmere valley and across to the Long Man of Wilmington. A very quaint and beautiful village.
