The Long Man of Wilmington

This chalk man may not be as old as you think. As there is no record before 1710.

But above it is a barrow dating back 3500 years. And if you have lunch below the long man, the sun will be directly behind you at midday.


I walk there in the autumn. The composers Benjamin Britton and Frank Bridge did once too.

It sits below the South Downs Way.

It can be an eerie place. I once saw hundreds of Canada geese feeding on the stubble below the Long Man. Their noise was petrifying.
