View of the South Downs Way

Highlight • Viewpoint

The scenery here is top drawer, typical lush green South Downs with views extending down towards Alfriston. An undulating patchwork of green fields and trees stretches beautifully to the horizon.

Long Burgh Barrow

Highlight • Natural Monument

Wonderful piece of archaeological heritage and just one of dozens of barrows on this ridge.

Tip by

4.81 km

St. Andrew's is located on a small hill by the river and is built in the shape of a cross. The central tower and spire dominate the skyline, with a sound of six bells ringing from the center of the church. This feature can only be seen in about 16 churches in the country; and one of only 2 in the diocese.

High Street, Alfriston

Highlight • Settlement

Alfriston is often hailed as one of England's most beautiful villages. Walking down the High Street, it’s easy to see why. With medieval inns, quirky boutiques, cafes, a Grade I-listed market cross, plus much more, it really allows you to step back in time.

Alfriston Village

Highlight • Settlement

Alfriston is a village community surrounded by the Wealden South Downs. We sit near the eastern end of the South Downs Way where this national path splits three ways, going east, west and south, from the very centre of our historic village.

Around the village, visitors can enjoy the famous St Andrew's church (the "Cathedral of the South Downs"), the clergy house (the National Trust's first property) and our wide range of galleries, cafés, pubs and shops.
