アルバーンのおすすめツーリングルート

There are superb blackberries here at the foot of the Beacon during late July and August.

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.

Delicious coffee from a small converted horse trailer. It won't always be there. But if it is, it's a recommendation.

These old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that resulted from it - to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes: no human or animal muscle power is needed for the grinding process, but the wind captured by the wings is enough to drive the heavy millstones and thus, for example, to grind flour from grain (grain mills) or to press oil from olives (oil mills). Often they are only technical and historical evidence of a long tradition of craftsmanship, because most of the old mills have been abandoned over time.

An iconic sight in the South Downs National Park are the dew ponds, made for grazing livestock to drink from. This one is particularly striking at sunset and features a lone tree which reflects perfectly in the water.

The Jack and Jill Windmills are 19th Century traditional corn windmills which has been fully restored. These Grade II listed buildings offer beautiful views across the Sussex Weald and make the perfect backdrop for a picnic.

The Downs Link is a beautiful long-distance route for walkers, horse riders, and cyclists that follows two disused railway lines. It crosses the Surrey Hills, the Low Weald, the South Downs, and the Coastal Plain. Since the trains departed in the 1960s, the embankments and cuttings have become a green corridor for wildlife and people.

great place to stop and look back at the dyke
