Shaped by farming Imagine this whole area covered in trees. That’s how it was some 7,000 years ago before Neolithic people cleared the woodland and started to work the land. Look out for ancient field systems called lynchets. These ‘terrace’ patterns were created by Iron Age ploughs some 2500 years ago.
Sheep farming has helped maintain the open downland for centuries and place names like ‘Tegdown’ and ‘Ewe Bottom’ reflect this. Farming continues to shape the landscape we enjoy today, helping to sustain many of the special qualities for which the South Downs were designated including distinctive landscapes, diverse habitats and species, archaeological features and local produce.

A resting placeFrom here you can walk to the famous Chattri War Memorial most of which is open access land. During the First World War injured, Indian soldiers, were hospitalised in the Dome in Brighton. The Hindus and Sikhs who died were cremated on the Downs and, in 1921, the memorial was built on the cremation site. Chattri means ‘umbrella’ in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu symbolising the protection offered to the memory of the dead.
