Quick facts
The dyke is a V-shaped dry valley about 100 metres deep, on the South Downs about 8 km from Brighton.
From the surrounding hills you can see across the Weald and, on a clear day, as far as the Isle of Wight.
The South Downs Way passes the site, and the ramparts of an Iron Age hillfort lie on the hill above the valley.
