Light touches the hills, enhancing the texture and contrast in the image. A scenic view of a vast landscape showing rolling hills under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. Small groups of people are visible in the valley, suggesting hiking or leisurely activities. The foreground is lined with dry, brown vegetation. Scenic view from a hillside overlooking a vast landscape of fields and scattered buildings under a sunny, partly cloudy sky. Patches of trees are interspersed throughout the countryside. A wooden post casts a long shadow on the grass in the foreground. A person with long hair tied back, wearing a black jacket and sunglasses on their head, smiles at the camera. They are standing in a grassy field with rolling hills and a blue sky with scattered clouds in the background.

Organiser's Description

The artist John Constable declared this spot ‘the grandest view in the world’. Vast views over the Sussex Weald ensure Devil’s Dyke is a popular place to walk, rest and play.

This is also a fantastic place for us trail runners to get together as a group and enjoy the finest parts that Sussex has to offer.
