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.

Stunning viewpoint looking down at the snake like Cuckmere winding its way to the sea. Lovely viewpoint.

Keeping watch over the South Downs, The Long Man of Wilmington is one of Sussex’s most iconic features. At 72 metres, he’s the largest depiction of a human figure in Europe and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

The Long Man of Wilmington cut into the chalk of the South Downs, has baffled archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years. Many people are convinced that he is prehistoric, whilst others believe that he is the work of an artistic monk from the nearby Priory created between the 11th and 15th centuries. There has been a lot of speculation as to his purpose. A fertility symbol? An Ancient warrior maybe? Early 18th century folly? An early representation of a Millwall fan?? No one knows? Visitors can view him from afar or walk across his form on the side of the Downs.

Windover Hill is famous for the Longman of Wilmington (or the ‘Wilmington Giant’), a huge figure carved into the slopes. The human figure is 235 feet (72 m) tall and holds two ‘staves’.

An amble up Firle Beacon in the South Downs of southern England. It is 217 metres high and is a Marilyn. It commands a far-reaching view. It is a trig pointed summit and a designated Marilyn.

Originally thought to be from the Bronze Age, the 'old man' (sometimes called the Willmington Giant) is actually from around the 16th Century. No less impressive though as you ride by. Well worth a stop to take it in.

A great spot for a walk or if you're on the bike continue up to Litlington and visit the Cadence Cycle Hub where you can grab a coffee, sandwich or cake.
