Devils Dyke (Devil's Ditch)
Devil's Dyke (also known as Devils Ditch) is a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) - one of the best and most extensive areas of flowering chalk grassland in the area.
The ditch and rampart is about 7 miles long from Reach to Stetchworth. Devils Dyke is thought to have been built between 500-600AD by the East Anglian Saxons to block attacks from Mercians to the west.
A public footpath runs along the top of the Devil's Dyke's rampart
