Located in the oldest part of Portslade, St Nicolas' Church is an Anglican church dating back to the twelfth-century. Unlike other areas of what is now Brighton and Hove, Portslade was continuously inhabited over the centuries, and the church has remained in unusually good condition for a building of its age. Medieval wall paintings were discovered in the church in the late nineteenth century, but sadly these were painted over and lost.

Devil's Dyke is one of the most breathtaking locations in Sussex, offering incredible panoramic views of its steep valley and the surrounding landscape - what John Constable called "the grandest view in the world". Almost a mile long, the dyke is the longest, deepest and widest dry valley in Britain, and according to legend this huge dyke was dug by the devil himself in order to drown the Weald's parishioners.
