| Comments: | Me and my brothers walked the South Downs Way in april 2008 and april 2009. We loved the trail and its interresting historic sites. We had some questions about Chanctonbury ring but your site gave the answer to all of them.
Thank you for your nice web-site and we hope to see the downs again in future. |

| Comments: | My wonderful parents, Denise and Deryck Foster, were married in the church on 13th August 1949, and it's hard to believe where the years have gone with their Golden Wedding anniversary is almost here. Now in their early and middle 80's respectively, they are both in fantastic health, and have enjoyed the most exciting and varied life, usually involving the water and the sea! living on a houseboat on the Thames with a new baby, the Isle of Wight for our growing up years and life on the Solent and as a crewman with the Yarmouth lifeboat, enjoying Bermuda in the 80s and further progressing a career as a successful and well respected marine artist in America, a home in Jamestown, Rhode Island, retiring to Majorca for some 20 years, and lately settling in Uppingham on the edges of Rutland water. My parents have a tremendous sense of fun and humour, and continue to enjoy a huge life full of variety. We thank them for being the best parents in the world, and wish them a very happy anniversay and party celebrating this fantastic 60 years. Ps. Some years ago Mummy and I visited the church when we were in the area, and had a wonderful day of nostalgia! |

| Comments: | Since moving to West Sussex nearly 11 years ago, if there is one place that I love in the county more than any other - it has to be Cissbury Ring. I love the views and the feeling of peace there, it's almost as if it's where I belong. Me and my husband go up every summer just to sit and take in the magic. It gets harder as we get older but well worth the effort. Reading the history has made it even better, understanding how important it has been. I got spooked at Chanctonbury, but not Cissbury, so maybe it is telling me something? Who knows? As long as I can, I'll get up to the top and for a time everything will be perfect. |

| Comments: | I found your site very interesting indeed, particularly the in depth analysis of Cissbury Ring. Living in England, I feel many of us take for granted the natural beauty and rich history this country has to offer. It was a real pleasure to visit the Ring, where you cannot help but be in awe of the place and it's ancient history. Very well done, thank you so much. |

| Comments: | My name is Kirk Dickenson and I live in Cote Street, which is a narrow chalk hill lane next to Holt Farm. I am passionate about the Downs and walk, cycle and run on them every week. I have signed the online petition to include the Western Weald withithin the proposed National park boundaries and was at the pre-inquiry at Hove Town Hall (pictures on my website http://my.opera.com/blackpatch/blog) and will be attending the re-opening of the Public Inquiry at the Chatsworth hotel in Worthing on the 12th February - hoping to see many locals in attendance for a show of support.
Congratulations on your great website, a real credit to a beautiful landscape |

| Comments: | I plan to be married on top of cissbury ring, for no other reason than l think it is one of the most beautiful places in Britain.
My husband to be asked me to marry him on top of the ring and we walk up there from our house often. It is a magical setting and l think very romantic. We think of it as a gateway, to all the wonderful walks and surrounding countryside, without ever having to use a car. |

| Comments: | Took my 8yo son up to the Ring today - walked up from Findon. We both loved it - only downside was the dog shit that littered the path on the way up and the the ring - something needs to be done about these criminals who leave the dog messs everywhere. |
