Horses in snowy field in Ditchling, Sussex

January 2010 - In Sussex snow has been falling fast and heavily - about eight to ten inches of snow has settled during the last couple of days. Each morning our teenage sons have been up incredibly early (for teenagers), taking their new sledges up to Lodge Hill or sometimes on the slope beneath the windmills. The South Downs and Lodge Hill in Ditchling are dotted with kids hurtling and tumbling down the slopes every day, at present.

While the conditions remain icy, the hill up to Ditchling Beacon is closed to motor vehicles. Do not attempt to drive up the Beacon Road to the top of the Downs; you will have to turn around at the foot of the hill, or park in the car park and walk up to the Beacon.

Want to take your kids sledging - check out our latest information on the snow conditions in Sussex.
