Overview

I've lead Ramblers walks before, but as this is the first time I'm leading a walk for the Beachy Head Group I intend to keep it very simple. As I'm new to the area, I expect that most of you will be more familiar with my chosen route than I am. So please bear with me! We start from Buckle Car Park and circle Seaford in a clockwise direction. First we walk north through Bishopstone and Norton, then east following tracks and field paths. Continuing to turn right we cross Alfriston Road and then Eastbourne Road to follow Chyngton Lane to South Hill Barn. We then head towards Cuckmere Haven but veer right to Hope Bottom then right again to follow the cliff path to Seaford Head and back along the front passing the Martello Tower to our start.
