 Alfriston
|
|
| Alfriston,
the most English of English villages, one of the most beautiful
villages in the Downs. Small tea-shops as well as antique shops
here.
Thatched houses, village
green and old inns.
The large village church is often called "the Cathedral
of the Downs".
Alfriston's claim to fame is that the Star Inn is where King
Alfred burnt his cakes. He also visited the area as the English
fleet was harboured at Westdean.
The village gets very
busy in the summer with tourists. Lots to do around the area.
