This past Sunday Geoff (the musician who lives in the flat above me) and I hiked through Firston Woods and along the cliff to beachy head. Thanks Angela for the map to this area.
The cliffs here are quite spectacular, even at low tide. One had to use caution however when getting close to the edge as in this fairly remote section their are no barriers.
To get to the cliffs you had to walk through acres of sheep pasture.
A typical Downs farm.
Firston woods, mainly Fagus sylvatica, here with orange lichen growing on the north side.
Snowdrops, Galanthus nivalus, in full bloom in Firston Woods, where they are wild. 
The church in the village of West Dean near Firston Woods.

As this listings of church rectors shows this church goes back to the 11th century.
The sarcophagus (not sure if that is the right term) are above ground.

Our major blizzard that actually closed roads and schools, here at the biology building at the University of Sussex.
