Welcome to Litlington

Litlington is a small village located in the county of East Sussex, England. The village is situated on the edge of the South Downs National Park, which makes it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are many footpaths and bridleways that lead to some stunning views of the surrounding area.

One of the most notable features of Litlington is its church, St Michael and All Angels. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building. It is known for its beautiful stained glass windows and its impressive Norman tower. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Another attraction in Litlington is the Long Man of Wilmington. This is a hill figure that is carved into the chalk hillside and is believed to date back to the Iron Age. The figure is over 200 feet tall and is one of the largest hill figures in England. It is a popular destination for hikers and walkers, and there are many footpaths that lead to the site. The Long Man of Wilmington is also a popular spot for picnics and is a great place to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
