There are three myths surrounding the formation of Devil’s Dyke. The
Devil wanted to carve out the dyke to flood all the churches in the town below
but his digging was halted when he disturbed a rooster which led him to believe
morning had already come, and fled; the Devil’s digging was halted when he
stubbed his toe on a large rock and abandoning the dyke due to his injuries; or
instead of intending to flood the area of Sussex, he was in the form of a goat
and abandoned his plans to crush the town because he feared the sea water would
ruin his coat.
Ever since it was formed more than 14,000 years ago due to strong
erosion, the dyke has become a tourist attraction that has pulled in people from
afar. I have taken two pictures, one showing the size and the beauty, and one
near the pub that sits on the edge. The latter was just as the sun had dipped
below the horizon, but was still casting a small amount of light, creating a
wonderful silhouette-look about it with the subtle glow of the sun's light in the background.
A picture may capture the dyke in its entirety, but that doesn’t
mean it’s fully captured its true size; you need to see it with your own eyes
to truly experience the wonderment in all its power.
