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

Ditchling Beacon is the highest point in East Sussex, England, with an elevation of 248 m (814 ft). It is south of Ditchling and to the north-east of Brighton. It is a large chalk hill with a particularly steep northern face, covered with open grassland and sheep-grazing areas. It is the third-highest point on the South Downs, behind Butser Hill (270 m (890 ft) and Crown Tegleaze (253 m (830 ft).

Walking along the South Downs Way this is a great vantage point with wide views both to the north and to the south. It is glorious during a summer's sunset.

Running up the Beacon along the SDW, is definitely a more gradual affair compared to its (in)famous road climb from the north. Still it's the highest point along the Sussex Downs with just under 820 feet (250 metres) and the third highest along the SDW. Needless to say it makes for gorgeous views and if you're lucky there's an ice cream van waiting for you in the car park where you cross Ditchling Bostall..
