Long Man of Wilmington
Britain’s tallest chalk hill figure.
Britain’s tallest chalk hill figure. There is no firm evidence about who he is, or why he is there. The figure is cut into the steep slopes of Windover Hill, and is 235 feet high.
The mysterious Long Man can be viewed on a Ramblers route through this quiet part of Sussex.
