点评:We parked at the High and Over car park (free) and wanted to see the Litlington White Horse.
The walk one way, is about 7 minutes at a gentle pace. You then reach a steep hillside. It is a stunning viewpoint, and you can look down over the Cuckmere Valley and the river below.
However, we could not see the Litlington White Horse properly, perhaps just a small part of it. Someone told us that we were actually above the horse, which made it impossible to see it in its entirety. May be a bit of the head.
I was told that the best way to see the White Horse is from down below, looking upwards at the hill. The hillside near the horse is quite high and steep, and it looked very steep to walk down. I suppose you could walk down the shallower side of the hill, but that looked like quite a long trek (may be 1hr?). It was not clearly marked and there didn't appear to be an obvious path. There were small goats on the hill with horns, unsure if they were friendly.
I would suggest doing a bit more research beforehand if seeing the White Horse is your main reason for visiting High & Over.
The key is to see the horse from far....
Aside from not being able to see the horse properly, the walk and the views were pleasant and well worth a stop. We were there for about 25 minutes, including plenty of time taking photos.
There was one bench to admire the view.
翻译:我们把车停在High and Over免费停车场,本想去看看利廷顿的白马图案。
单程步行时间约为7分钟,步伐舒缓的话就能到达目的地。随后会遇到一段陡峭的山坡。那里的视野绝佳,可以俯瞰整个卡克米尔山谷以及下方的河流。
不过,我们没能看清那个白马图案,大概只看到了一小部分而已。有人告诉我们,我们实际上就站在白马图案的上方,因此根本无法看到它的全貌。可能需要稍微动动脑子吧。
有人告诉我,观赏白马图案的最佳方式是从山脚下仰视。白马所在的山坡相当高且陡峭,看起来很难走下去。我想或许可以从山坡较平缓的一侧下去,但那段路似乎相当漫长(大概需要1小时吧?)。那里没有明显的标记,也找不到清晰的路径。山坡上还有些长着角的小山羊,不确定它们是否友善。如果观赏白马是您游览High & Over的主要目的,我建议事先多做些功课。
关键在于要从远处观赏那匹马……
虽然没能清楚地看到白马,但沿途的步行体验和景色都相当不错,绝对值得一逛。我们在那里待了大约25分钟,其中还花了不少时间拍照。
那里有一张长椅,可以用来欣赏美景。
