Itinerary description
The first of six peaks to be bagged today. Wilmington Hill is a summit on the South Downs near Eastbourne in East Sussex in the South East England. Wilmington Hill is 214 metres high. It is a designated Marilyn and has a trig pointed summit.
My Amble
There is a height restrictive, busy but decent sized car park at the start. Instead of walking down the road (SW) there is a footpath on the left of the road. This was overgrown and wet first thing in the morning so we opted to walk just inside the field and then followed some obvious trails just below the Long Man of Wilmington that goes up in a zig zag fashion up to the summit trig point. From here there is an obvious trail heading North downhill which ends up going through the woods and along a path back to Wilmington village. All easy enough with great views to be had from every vantage point.
Parking: Height restrictive car park at the start point.
Route: Good paths and views all around. A very nice family walk but it does get busy.
Statistics: A 3.5km hike with 158m of heigh gain done in an hour.
