플럼튼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This is a charming church featuring a square tower which is characteristic of Sussex's medieval architecture. In front of the church is a bench where you can stop and pause before continuing your journey.

Nice smooth downhill section

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

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people revered as saints, but to the archangel MICHAEL. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally also a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

Norman style church at the junction of a couple of bridleways and Streat Lane.

If you choose to skirt the village to the south on the Ditchling to Lewes Road, watch out for a section of pink road by the half moon pub. It climbs steeply whilst cornering and is an important place to adopt an assertive road position so that you remain visible .
