Description
The Long Man of Wilmington is an ancient chalk hill figure carved into Windover Hill in East Sussex, England. His purpose and origin, believed by some to be prehistoric, remain uncertain. Some theories link it to Celtic deities or guardians, representing the connection between earthly and spiritual realms. Others associate it with pilgrims or warriors from the early Anglo-Saxon era, symbolizing life’s journey.
The figure has been restored over time to preserve its distinct shape. Positioned atop Windover Hill, it offers panoramic views and a serene atmosphere. The Long Man sparks contemplation about our deep ties to nature and the enigmas of the past. Regardless of its precise meaning, this iconic symbol transcends time, inviting us to explore our rich history.
The Long Man appeared in Neil Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’ as a guardian of the portal between our world and the world of Faery.
