The history, myths and legends of Devil's Dyke
The legend of how the Dyke was formed
Legend has it that the Devil dug the valley to drown the Christian parishioners of the Weald. Scientists, however, believe it was formed in the last Ice Age. If you walk to the bottom of the Dyke valley you will find two humps of earth.
It's said that the Devil and his wife are buried here. Another connected legend is that if you run backwards seven times around these humps, while holding your breath, the Devil will appear.
