Little London Hill is a picturesque hill located in the county of Sussex, England. Situated in the South Downs National Park, it offers breathtaking views and is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. Despite its name, it is not a hill in the traditional sense, but rather a low-lying ridge that offers stunning panoramic vistas.

Standing at an elevation of around 200 meters (656 feet), Little London Hill is covered in lush greenery, with patches of wildflowers dotting its slopes during the spring and summer months. The hill is predominantly composed of chalk, which gives it a distinct white appearance and contributes to its unique charm.

The hill is easily accessible, with well-maintained footpaths leading to the summit. Hikers and nature enthusiasts can enjoy walking along these paths, taking in the picturesque countryside and surrounding farmland. The summit itself provides a stunning view of the rolling hills, meandering rivers, and quaint villages that define the Sussex landscape.

Little London Hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including rabbits, foxes, and numerous bird species. Nature lovers can often spot kestrels hovering above the hill, as well as skylarks singing their melodic tunes.

Overall, Little London Hill is a hidden gem in the Sussex countryside, offering visitors a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether it be for a leisurely walk or to admire the stunning views, this hill is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of the natural beauty that Sussex has to offer.

Mid-18th century tombstone, Warnham churchyard The name is JOHN AGATE (if I've read it correctly) and the date July 1748.  The jawless skull is pretty typical of the rather heartless imagery to be found on 18th century tombstones.
