AddressDitchling Beacons, AgesSuitable for all. Costfree! Facilities:Walking and kite-flying area. How to get there:None. Extra Info:Ditchling Beacon is the third-highest point on the South Downs in south-east England, behind Butser Hill (270 m; 886 ft) and Crown Tegleaze (253 m; 830 ft). 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. A road runs from Ditchling up and across the northern face and down into the northern suburbs of Brighton, and there are car parks at the summit and the northern base. Various charity, sporting and other events which are run regularly between London and Brighton incorporate this steep road as a challenging part of their route. Befrienders rating:( 1 Vote ) Comments (1)Worth a visit if you fancy escaping the confines of Brighton.
Ditchling has been one of our favourite visits if you want to escape Brighton. Possibilities for kite-flying and walking near the carpark and the ice-cream van is an added attraction for children! You can latch on a trip to Ditchling village too, which has a small children's playground and a nice little cafe at the crossroads.
