Into the Valley

A scenic view of rolling green hills and valleys under a blue sky, with a small cluster of trees and a distant house nestled in the valley. — Devil’s Dyke, South Downs

Eventually we came round to a point where we could see around and down into the valley itself. If you look closely, you cans see some people walking down there, which will give some idea of scale.

Walking Around

From the bus stop and visitors’ centre, we walked around the shoulder of the valley, aiming for a view down into the valley.

A View of a Distant Sea

More from the October ramble from Falmer to Rottingdean.

In October we joined the Ramblers for a walk from Falmer to Rottingdean (a little over 7 miles) on the South Downs. I took a lot of landscape pictures of the lovely English countryside along the way (more to come in future posts).

As I’m just getting to mid-October pictures now in December I’ll revert to 2 posts a day until I’m a bit more caught up.

Suckling Pig?

A log my wife came upon that looks an awful lot like a pig, no?

Dora’s Green

Shadows

When the sun is strong, which unfortunately has not been often this past summer, there are stark shadows on the grass as the afternoon wanes, making for graphic, natural compositions.

Ruined Amphitheatre

After the barrack ruins we wandered over to the grassy ruins of a Roman amphitheatre (see more pictures below).
