NEW: Telscombe Trail: Secret Village to the Nook Newhaven Coast.

Event description
Join us for a scenic and adventurous hike starting at Glynde Bridge, winding through the peaceful South Downs, and uncovering the hidden hamlet of Telscombe—tucked away from time and crowds. We’ll continue on to the striking coastline at Newhaven, where cliffs and sea views reward the journey.
Expect rolling hills, secret paths, and a mix of countryside charm and coastal drama. A perfect day for nature lovers, curious wanderers, and those craving a lesser-known trail with a stunning seaside finish.
