Challenge yourself on the Alfriston and Long Man of Wilmington Loop, a difficult hike spanning 9.4 miles (15.2 km) with an elevation gain of 852 feet (260 metres). This route takes around 4 hours and 11 minutes to complete, guiding you through varied terrain from high hills to riverbanks. You will experience panoramic views of Sussex and encounter the iconic Long Man of Wilmington, a colossal chalk figure carved into Windover Hill.
When planning your visit, be aware that conditions can be muddy, especially during colder months. The trail includes sections through farmer's fields and narrow paths, with a few unavoidable stiles to navigate. If your chosen route variation crosses the busy A27 road, exercise caution and be mindful of traffic.
This trail offers a deep dive into the picturesque Cuckmere Valley and charming villages like Alfriston, known for its historic buildings. Beyond the famous chalk figure, you will also pass ancient churches and may even catch glimpses of the glistening ocean, adding layers of natural beauty and history to your journey.
