Friends of the South Downs is the only membership charity dedicated to protecting the South Downs.
After witnessing the construction of Peacehaven, East Sussex, on the chalk cliffs to the west of the Ouse, our founder members feared what would happen to the rest of the eastern Downs in that time without effective planning controls. To counter that threat they joined together in 1923 to form ‘a society for the preservation of the Downs’, which soon became the Society of Sussex Downsmen. We later changed the name to the South Downs Society and are now known as the Friends of the South Downs.
