I wander lonely as a cloud...

This is one of many downed aircraft memorials along the South Downs Way. This one is also at the top of Littleton Down, which, at 255 metres high, is also a UK p100 top.

A decent enough area with a trig pointed top. One of many trig points along the South Downs Way.

Kestrels making a good show for us!

This is a great place to visit at any time of the year, but is particularly special in the autumn. At the NE edge of the village, on the main road (A285), is a new small carpark. The path up to the windmill (Mill Lane track on OS maps) follows the old Roman Road, Stane Street. Beyond the cottages is the famous Halnaker Tree Tunnel. The sunken path has trees on both sides which look particularly fantastic on sunny, autumn days. There are great views in every direction when you get up to the windmill.

Part of the Slindon Estate, Bignor Hill is an area managed by the National Trust. It's a prominent viewpoint on the South Downs Way, rising to a height of 699 feet (213 m). It features a Roman road sign pointing towards Londinium (London) and Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester). The sign lies on an intersection of the ancient Roman road known as Stane Street, which connected these cities. Bignor Hill was a strategic location on Stane Street with its high elevation and commanding views of the surrounding countryside.

The Lancaster crashed in poor visibility on 13 February 1944, killing all 8 people on board. The previous evening it had taken part in special operations in Southern France. Aiming to return to the squadron's base in Lincolnshire, the plane took off from Ford airfield, near Arundel. Unfortunately, it was unable to gain sufficient height and crashed in low cloud and fog at the highest point of the downs.

While the windmill is no longer working, it's very attractive from the outside. There are also fantastic 360 degree views from the top of the hill and a handy bench for a quick snack stop.
