The patron saint of this church: Saint Andrew belongs to the circle of the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in biblical accounts, he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his far more famous brother, Saint Peter. The Gospels present the calling of the two brothers in different ways. According to the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another unnamed disciple). Later, he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. The feast day of Saint Andrew is celebrated 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 been incorporated into the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

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.

Sculpted by melt-water and heavy rain during recent ice ages, and the erosive power of the sea more recently, the present-day cliffs mark the end of a series of natural inland gulleys. The Seven Sisters Cliffs are primary composed of chalk , a soft fine-grained, and porous limestone rock formed from accumulation of calcium carbonate-rich remains of marine organism. Birling Gap is a coastal popular hub the the South Downs meet the sea.

A lovely option for a beach walk at Birling Gap. Below the visitor center you can search for shells and relax while walking by the sea; a staircase leads down to the beach.
