🥾Hike Description
** We would be hiking from East to West**
This iconic cliff-top hike widely regarded as one of England’s most spectacular coastal walks offers breath taking and widely celebrated views of the Seven Sisters' white cliffs, offering breath taking views of the English Channel, and the famous Beachy Head, culminating in the graceful seafront town of Eastbourne. The walk involves a fair amount of ascent and descent, aside from the relatively level stretches near Cuckmere Haven and the final approach along Eastbourne’s promenade, the path is rarely flat. Yet, the majestic scenery makes the effort feel almost effortless.

🌟Highlights: Iconic Landmarks

• Martello Tower (Seaford) - The westernmost of 103 Napoleonic-era coastal fortresses.
• Spectacular White Cliffs - Formed by Ice Age glacier meltwater and sea erosion
• Birling Gap - National Trust site with dramatic cliff erosion (up to 1 meter per year).
• Beachy Head - The highest chalk sea cliff in England at 162 meters, with its current lighthouse built in 1902 to replace Belle Tout
• Cuckmere Haven - A serene river valley where the Cuckmere River meets the English Channel
• Eastbourne Seafront - Victorian elegance with the famous pier and beautiful promenade

*****************************
"For your safety, please be cautious near the cliff edges on this walk, as the terrain is unstable and may collapse. It’s recommended to stay at least 5 metres away from any cliff edges."

👣 Hike Description
Join us for a spectacular circular hike through the heart of the South Downs National Park, taking in rolling chalk hills, panoramic ridge-top views, picturesque villages and some of Sussex's finest countryside.

Starting in the historic market town of Lewes, we'll climb onto the Downs and follow sweeping ridgelines with magnificent views across the Ouse Valley and surrounding countryside. One of the unique features of this walk is that much of the route can be seen from the surrounding hills, allowing us to look back on where we've been and ahead to the trails still to come.

Our route passes through the charming villages of Southease and Glynde, both nestled beneath the South Downs and rich in rural character. Along the way we'll enjoy open grassland, ancient tracks, peaceful farmland and some of the most scenic sections of the South Downs. There is also an optional detour to Mount Caburn, an Iron Age hillfort offering breathtaking views across the entire landscape.

🌟Highlights:

• Historic market town of Lewes
• Spectacular South Downs ridgeline walking
• St Peter’s Church with a round tower 12th century in southease
• Panoramic views across the Ouse Valley
• Picturesque village of Glynde
