Welcome to Piltdown

Piltdown is a small village located in East Sussex, England. It is known for the Piltdown Man hoax, which was a fraudulent archaeological discovery that took place in the early 20th century. The hoax involved the discovery of a human skull and jawbone that were believed to be the missing link between apes and humans. However, it was later revealed that the skull and jawbone were actually from two different species and had been deliberately altered to create the appearance of a missing link.

Despite the controversy surrounding the Piltdown Man hoax, the village of Piltdown remains a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts. The village is home to several historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. Mary's Church and the Piltdown Golf Club, which was founded in 1904. The surrounding countryside is also popular for hiking and cycling, with several scenic trails and paths to explore.

Today, Piltdown is a quiet and peaceful village that offers a glimpse into England's rich history and heritage. Visitors can explore the village's historic buildings and landmarks, enjoy a round of golf at the Piltdown Golf Club, or simply take a leisurely stroll through the surrounding countryside. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, Piltdown is a charming and picturesque destination that is well worth a visit.
