Now in the care of the National Trust, Ditchling Beacon was one of a chain of fires lit to warn of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
In his 'A Shropshire Lad', the poet A E Housman opens with the words: 'From Clee to heaven the beacon burns, The shires have seen it plain . . .'

Pebbles and sand extend below the Royal Standard; we look eastwards from deck-chairs, boats and canvas shelters to the North Wall of the harbour and the coast from Charmouth and Stonebarrow Hill to Golden
Adjoining the Hollow, the main A47 becomes Wood Street.
Most buildings are of the limestone that has for many years been quarried from nearby Painswick Beacon, so the town sits comfortably on the ground from which it comes.
Built in 1719 on the site of earlier fire- signal stations, the Beacon stands almost 1,000ft above sea-level, commanding views of the Lakeland, Pennine and Shap Fells and Scottish mountains
