Welcome to Wannock

Wannock is a small village located in East Sussex, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of Polegate and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque scenery and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions in Wannock is the Cuckoo Trail, a 14-mile walking and cycling path that runs through the village. The trail follows the route of a disused railway line and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is a popular spot for walkers, joggers, and cyclists, and is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Another popular attraction in Wannock is the Long Man of Wilmington, a hill figure that dates back to the Iron Age. The figure is carved into the side of a hill and is over 200 feet tall. It is believed to represent a Celtic deity and is a popular spot for visitors to the area. The Long Man of Wilmington is a unique and fascinating piece of history that is well worth a visit.
