WEEKDAY WALK: ALFRISTON-WILMINGTON CIRCULAR (4 MILES)

Hi all. This is an easy walk from Alfriston with a moderate hill up at the start then a flat amble across fields and along the Cuckmere River. We will get a good view of the Long Man at Wilmington, visit an ancient tree (reputedly older than Jesus), and the scenery on this walk is lovely.

This is a relatively short walk (4 miles) but there is an option to continue along the river for a cuppa in Litlington then back to Alfriston, c.1.3 miles each way.

Well behaved dogs are welcome and I walk with a friendly hound called Josie. The fields are mostly arable but we may encounter some livestock.

The free carpark in Alfriston is 3 hours max, which will be long enough for the short walk but probably not enough for the extension. There's free roadside parking on North Road, The Furlongs or Kings Ride. We will meet at Market Cross, ie the triangle at the top of the High Street in front of Ye Olde Smugglers Inne. Please allow 10 mins to walk to the meeting point to set off promptly at 1030.

Satnavs in Alfriston you can use are:
The Furlongs BN26 5XS
North Road BN26 5XE
Kings Ride BN26 5XP
Ye Old Smugglers Inne, BN26 5UE

The forecast is currently good but if it's wet I will cancel the day before. If you are unable to attend on the day, please call or text me on 07764 677363 in case I can't access MeetUp.

Thanks Alison
