Summer Stroll - Clayton Village , Jill Windmill and a Pub
Advertisement
IMPORTANT UPDATE
Renovation work ongoing at the windmill means it may not be ready by the 18th of July , so I have rescheduled the event until the end of August.
Clayton is right on the doorstep of Brighton and has some secrets to share . This will be a walk from Hassocks to Clayton ( 1 mile ) through Butchers Wood . In the village we will see the Clayton Tunnel , designed in 1841 and hear the story of the disaster that happened there in 1846 when two trains collided head on .
We will also visit the church of St John The Baptist which houses medieval "doom" murals from the 12th Century .
After a drink at The Jack and Jill pub we will go up to the Jill windmill itself ( half a mile uphill ) , and hear about it's history and the windmills place in Sussex agriculture .
This will be a dog friendly walk for those that are up for walking longer distances than my usual tours. It will also be a longer trip timewise so leave the afternoon free and bring vittles with you too .
We will meet at Hassocks train station front entrance ( lots of parking there too ) and come back to the same place at the end.
Tickets are £10 and you can pay by cash or card on the day . Please register as " going" rather than " interested"
