Hike to the Long Man of Wilmington – Scenic Walk & Ancient Mystery
Join us for a beautiful countryside hike to the iconic Long Man of Wilmington, one of Sussex’s most intriguing historical landmarks. This walk offers stunning views across the South Downs and a chance to connect with nature, local history, and like-minded outdoor lovers.
We’ll follow a circular route through rolling hills, peaceful meadows, and ancient tracks. Along the way, we’ll take breaks to soak in the scenery, have a snack, and, of course, spend some time near the Long Man – a giant chalk figure carved into the hillside whose origins still remain a mystery.
Whether you're into hiking, local folklore, or just fancy a relaxing day outdoors, this is a gentle and rewarding walk not to miss.
