At the Ditchling Beacon trig
At the Ditchling Beacon trig
Trig point on the summit of Ditchling Beacon, which at 248m is the highest point in East Sussex and the third highest on the South Downs ridge. Considering these facts, the ground is remarkably untrampled compared to many summits.
Ditchling Beacon

Ditchling Beacon is the third-highest point on the South Downs in south-east England. It consists of a large chalk hill with a particularly steep northern face, covered with open grassland and sheep-grazing areas. Situated just south of the East Sussex village of Ditchling and to the north-east of the city of Brighton, it is the highest point in the county of East Sussex.

South Downs Way

The South Downs Way is a long distance footpath in Southern England and is one of Britain's National Trails. It runs for around 100 miles from Winchester in Hampshire to Eastbourne in Sussex, with a small loop around Eastbourne. The South Downs Way passes through the South Downs, a beautiful area which is now a National Park. The path mainly follows old routes and droveways along the Chalk escarpment. The majority of the path is a bridleway and so can be used by horse-riders and cyclists too.
