Simon's Roller Coaster between Lewes and Seaford via Firle Beacon

Strenuous 12.0 miles / 19.3km Ascent: 1550ft / 472.4m linear

Walking up the snow drop from Cliffe bridge over the Ouse on Lewes High Street a steep climb takes one first to Mount Caburn Iron Age Fort before dipping down to Village of Glynde where can get a drink at the Little Cottage Tea Rooms with beautiful garden or the Trevor Arms Pub. Afterwards we head to the Village of Firle and a steep climb takes us up to Firle Beacon, where we stop for a picnic lunch. It is then a long gentle decent to the village of Bishopstone and the town of Seaford. Short train trip back to Lewes.

Subject to walk leaders approval we do allow well behaved dogs under full control of their owner. If you wish to bring your dog on the walk, please check with the walk leader before arriving for the walk.

Please note that there is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change.

Members of the Ramblers Association are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also to keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website Our Walks (westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk).
