A 70-metre outline of a man holding a staff in each hand, cut into Windover Hill above Wilmington.
At 70 metres tall, the Long Man is one of only two human hill figures in Britain, the other being the Cerne giant in Dorset. Once thought prehistoric, it is now dated no earlier than the sixteenth or seventeenth century, and the outline is picked out in painted blocks. The Sussex Archaeological Society has cared for it since 1925 and keeps it free to visit. It is signposted from the A27, with a car park below the hill, but reads best from a way off, since the slope foreshortens it close up. The figure stands within the South Downs.
