Airbourne!– East Dean & Beachy Head Circular (10 miles, Moderate/Strenuous)

Join me for a hilly and scenic 10-mile circular walk from East Dean, taking in Pea Down and Eldon Bottom before reaching the coast above Eastbourne.
We’ll stop at Beachy Head for lunch (bring picnic- coffee, ice cream and toilets available) and to watch the Airbourne Airshow, then continue along the coast with a few ups and downs via Birling Gap and Went Hill back to East Dean for an optional drink at the Tiger Inn. Great views!
📍 Start: 10:30am, front of East Dean village car park (free parking – please car share)
🚌 Bus: No. 12 (not 12A) from Brighton Station at 9:00am arrives 10.13, ten min walk to start point
🥾 Distance: ~6 miles before lunch, 4 miles after.
⚠ Note: Beachy Head will be very busy during the Airshow — if you’re seeking solitude, this may not be the walk for you!
🍎 Bring: Packed lunch, plenty of water, hat, sunscreen
Grade: Moderate/Strenuous (hilly!)

The Brighton and Hove Group of The Ramblers and its leaders accept no responsibility for any claims arising from the activities of the group. All walk leaders must be fully paid-up members of the Ramblers Association.

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.
