アルフリストンのおすすめツーリングルート

この初期新石器時代の長塚古墳は、おそらく紀元前4千年紀に建設されたと考えられています。地元コミュニティにとって社会的または宗教的な役割（教会のようなもの）を持っていたと考えられています。アルフリストンの反対側には、その半分の長さのものがもう一つあります。

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.

Decent shop with hot food over the counter, plus some tea rooms.

Lovely new cycling path but I agree that signage isn’t sufficient for both cyclists and cars, especially the junction with Bopeep lane which is right after a few turns and big bushes limiting visibility.

Good circular route starting and ending in Eastbourne riding on tarmac, gravel and forrest track.

lovely gravel path at the foot of the south downs stretching from Alfriston to Firle

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.

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!
