The pretty village of Wilmington lies within the South Downs National Park between Lewes and Eastbourne. Nestled into the Downs and overlooked by the famous Long Man of Wilmington (a giant figure originally cut into the steep chalk hillside) this is one of the prettiest parts of Sussex and boasts sensational views of the Downs.
The village features:
- A historic church and priory with origins in the 11th century
- The Long Man Inn – a free house
- A village hall
- Public Car Park
- Several listed buildings
- A famous yew tree more than 1600 years old
- ..….and a red telephone box !
The well-known village of Alfriston is nearby as are the neighbouring villages of Folkington and Milton Street.
The village has some 300 residents and a thriving community centred on the village hall.
