Devil's Dyke Sponsored Walk

Several East Anglian based volunteers (and a couple from further a field) plan to lace up their hiking boots and don their waterproofs to raise money for the Trust. A sponsored walk along Devil's Dyke will take place on Sunday 21st September. There are several earthworks bearing the name "Devil's Dyke" or Devils Ditches but the Dyke in Suffolk is one of a number of defences along what would have been the ancient boundaries of the East Anglian and Mercian kingdoms. It stretches across open chalk lands between the impassable fenland to the north and the thickly wooded land to the south and at its zenith it would have formed an effective barrier. The ditch may well have been filled with thorny bushes to act as further defence, and it is possible that the monument may have been built over an earlier prehistoric dyke on a similar alignment.

If you'd like to join in the fundraising and come along on the walk you can find full details of the walk here here.

You can also sponsor several of the walkers on-line on the following pages.
