Wealdway The South Downs Way is a long distance footpath in Southern England and is one of Britain's National Trails. It runs for around 100 miles from Winchester in Hampshire to Eastbourne in Sussex, with a small loop around Eastbourne. The South Downs Way passes through the South Downs, a beautiful area which is now a National Park. The path mainly follows old routes and droveways along the Chalk escarpment. The majority of the path is a bridleway and so can be used by horse-riders and cyclists too.

Eastward view of the more westerly bowl barrow on Coombe Hill In 1908, three and a half bronze axes were unearthed from the bowl barrow in the photo by the then owner of Friston Place, (Curwen 1940 p.108) Three of the four axes had been broken. It is likely that the breakages were deliberate, and done in a ritual manner, in order to "kill" the objects so that they could be used as votive offerings.
