Seaford and High and Over Circular

Circular Walk Seaford – High and Over, Friston Forest & Seaford Head
Join us for a scenic circular walk starting and finishing at Seaford Library, taking in some beautiful countryside, woodland trails and coastal views.
Heading up from Seaford to The Comp and to High and Over, where we’ll take a short break. Great views on a clear day. From there, we’ll descend to the Cuckmere River and follow the Vanguard Way through Friston Forest.
At c.6 miles, we’ll stop for a picnic lunch at the top of Westdean with views of the Cuckmere. There are toilets/ café at Exceat, at the bottom of the hill.
After lunch, we’ll walk the remaining 4.5 miles back to Seaford, following the clifftops via Seaford Head. Optional drink at the Steamworks bar at Seaford station after.

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
