バルコンベのおすすめツーリングルート

a great stop for sightseeing - no shade or cover but worth the view regardless

Devil's Dyke Road heads to the Devil's Dyke from Brighton. It's a pretty place, with good views over the South Down's National Park.

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

The "invention" of the prime meridian - or more precisely, the scientifically based division of the globe into longitude and latitude, with the prime meridian running through this point as the central orientation line - in the second half of the 19th century was an epochal masterpiece in the field of cartography and navigation, at that time of particular importance for seafaring. Even today, in the age of modern GPS navigation based on satellites orbiting the earth, coordinates based on this principle are still used to determine locations.

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

Lewes Castle is a medieval fortress originally known as Bray Castle. Positioned strategically, it commands a prominent location, overseeing the gap in the South Downs shaped by the River Ouse and surrounded by the towns of Lewes and Cliffe. The castle is perched on a man-made mound located just north of Lewes' high street, crafted from locally sourced limestone and flint blocks.
