  • Long Man Viewpoint
    Viewpoint A tall story © Rory Walsh Time: 15 mins Region: South East England Landscape: rural Location: Long Man of Wilmington, Windover Hill, Wilmington, East Sussex BN26 5SW Grid reference: TQ 54255 03458 Parking: Use the free (but height restricted) car park beside Wilmington Priory (grid ref: TQ 54330 04189) Keep an eye out for: ‘Extras’ – things campaigners and pranksters have added to the figure include flashing lights, pigtails, a baseball cap and Y-fronts! Keeping watch over the South Downs, the Long Man of Wilmington is one of Britain’s most mysterious residents. Standing proud with a stave (stick) in each hand, he is supported by grassy hills and shrouded in myths and folklore. The Long Man is one of over 50 hill figures in Britain, many of which depict white horses. At 226 feet tall the Long Man is the largest ‘human’, some 46 feet taller than the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset. Though Britain’s hill figures vary in size and shape, most of them appear in the southern counties of England - especially Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire and Sussex. Why do so many hill figures live in southern England? To begin look at the Long Man’s shape. His name comes from his stretched body which appears in proportion when seen from below. Now take in the landscape around him, a grassy slope with very few trees. This slope, Windover Hill, is typical chalk downland. The Long Man’s home is part of the South Downs chalk ridge that rolls gently through Hampshire and Sussex. Though they look tranquil today the Downs have dramatic origins.

  • Walk 5 - Folkington, Windover Hill, Deep Dean, Folkington
    Walk 5 - Folkington, Windover Hill, Deep Dean, Folkington This is an abbreviated itinerary from Patrick Coulcher’s book “Wildlife Walks around the Cuckmere Valley”. For the full listing of the flowers and wildlife on this walk together with many illustrations, please buy the book online or from bookshops across Sussex. Distance: 9 kilometres. Route: Folkington Church, Wilmington Hill, Windover Hill, Deep Dean, Wilmington Hill, Folkington Hill, Wealdway, Folkington. Map: OS Explorer 123: South Downs Way – Newhaven to Eastbourne. Start/Parking: Top of Folkington Road next to Folkington Church at TQ 558037. Transport: Nil. Conditions: The first 90 per cent of walk is on firm downland with some steep climbs and descents. The final portion on the Wealdway can be muddy after prolonged rain and in the winter. Refreshments: Wishing Well Tea Rooms, Wilmington; Giant's Rest Public House, Wilmington Waypoints 1. As you drive up the narrow lane named on the map as Folkington Road and round the first bend you will see a huge panorama of rolling downland open up before you. This is one of the most beautiful stretches of chalk grassland on the South Downs. Just beyond the church and at the end of the lane is Folkington Wood. Take the path just to the south of the wood that leads gently uphill in a westerly direction. 2. After passing over a stile, look on the grassy bank beside the wood. Wild flowers abound. At the end of the wood, you pass over another stile and then walk up an open steep slope of the Downland proper.

  • March/April Walks Programme, the BHR Website and the Ramblers App
    BEACHY HEAD RAMBLERS Newsletter March / April 2020 www.beachyheadramblers.com membership: [email protected] newsletter: [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________ FRISTON FOREST Anyone who has attempted to use the southern section of Friston Forest in the recent past will know that it is currently an impenetrable quagmire. And according to the latest information it looks likely to stay that way until the summer. The logging that has been taking place in the forest is partly due to the thinning out of the beech crop as well as taking out damaged ash trees. Unfortunately the trucks which have been transporting the logs have churned up all of the paths, rendering them dangerous and completely unusable. This winter’s heavy rainfall has made matters much worse, and will also contribute to a delay in the planned restoration of the paths, which are now unlikely to become fully usable before the summer. In the meantime the section of the forest shown in bright green on the map should continue to be avoided. DO MORE WALKERS MEAN MORE PROBLEMS? “Victim of our own success” was a phrase used at a recent BHR committee meeting, referring to the fact that it is now not uncommon to have 25 or more participants on our Wednesday and Sunday rambles. Whilst this is good news for the future of the club and for rambling in general, it does sometimes lead to the problem of groups getting ‘strung out’ over a long distance. Whilst it is certainly the walk leader’s responsibility to keep the group together, especially when crossing obstacles such as wonky stiles and busy roads or climbing steep hills, we can all do our bit to help by looking out for each other.
