美しい露天池、ちょっと立ち寄る価値あり

If you decide to go here go through the field, to the right initially where the fence is trampled down anyway until the crossroads, where you take the left field and walk around it, the owner doesn’t seem to mind as I chatted with him about the track and says he doesn’t blame people and doesn’t mind it. The track was horrifically muddy with clay a meter deep (no exaggeration) u suspect from horse riders destabilising the soil. In other words take the South Downs way if you plan on taking the route through Pyecombe, don’t be like me

Ditchling Beacon Nature Reserve is owned by the National Trust but managed by the Wildlife Trust. It's an important area of chalk downland with rare species of plant and insect. The views from this ridge, below Ditchling Beacon are far-reaching, across the Weald. The South Downs Way long distance footpath walks across the hill above this point.

Do it when the weather in nicer..

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.

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

Beautiful route over unpaved paths

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.
