One of the longest and highest roads in the Brighton & Hove area stretching from St Peter's Church to Ditchling Beacon. The road was turnpiked in 1770 and for a while was part of the main London-Brighton route. Behind the trees to the left is a small car park for those wishing to walk the fields beyond which are now all open access or have a number of permissive footpaths crisscrossing them. A car has indeed gone in to park there whilst these two have decided not to risk it on this day of heavy snow though the road itself is mercifully ice free if a little slushy.
