• Devil’s Dyke National Trust - Devil’s Dyke is a 100-meter (330 ft) deep V-shaped dry valley. Visitors can enjoy a walk around the top of Devil’s Dyke and learn about its history as a major attraction for the Victorians in the mid-1800s.

How was it formed?
The Devil’s Dyke V-shaped dry valley was created through solifluction and river erosion. Over 14,000 years ago, the area experienced a very cold climate, though not glacial. Snowfields covered the South Downs, and permafrost conditions kept the chalk permanently frozen. In summer, melting snow saturated the topsoil, as water couldn’t penetrate the frozen chalk beneath. This waterlogged material slid down the slope, eroding the surface and revealing deeper layers of frozen chalk. When the Ice Age ended, melting snowfields led to river formation across Sussex, completing the Devil’s Dyke valley.

• The Long Man of Wilmington - About The Long Man of Wilmington
  The Long Man of Wilmington, also known as the Wilmington Giant, stands on the steep slopes of Windover Hill above the village of Wilmington.

The origins and meaning of the figure have puzzled archaeologists and historians for centuries. Is it a fertility symbol, an ancient warrior, or an 18th-century folly? The answer remains elusive.

Dating the giant is challenging
There are various theories about the figure’s age. Some believe it is prehistoric, while Roman coins with a similar figure suggest a 4th or 5th-century origin. An Anglo-Saxon origin has also been proposed, as there are similarities with a helmeted figure found on ornaments from that era. Alternatively, the Long Man might be the work of an artistic monk from the nearby Wilmington Priory between the 11th and 15th centuries.
