Starting at the Jack and Jill Windmills near Clayton, this was one of our early training walks for the 2015 Gurkha Trailwalker Challenge. The route follows the South Downs Way from the windmills over Ditchling Beacon to the outskirts of Lewes before looping back over Kingstonridge and Long Hill finally rejoining the South Downs Way back to the start point.
