Ditchling Beacon - Figure 8 - Fields, Woods and Downs (Mark G)

We will meet at the front of the Ditchling Village Hall (Lewes Rd, Ditchling, BN6 8TT) (opposite The Bull Pub) at 10:15. The walk starts at 10:30. Free parking is available at the Village Hall. Also, on West Street at various points and on Lewes Road. The primary school, about 300 metres from the roundabout, was noted as a good location.

The walk is one of two halves. A figure of 8, the first loop is from Ditchling, heading north through covered paths and fields, flat but interesting, with lovely views and easy walking. We will return to Ditchling and then head south towards Ditchling Beacon. The second half contains one steep climb up onto the Beacon but, on the whole, quite an easy walk.

We will be stopping for lunch either in or just outside of Ditchling. We can decide on the day, but there are several options.
