Overview

This walk takes us from East Dean along the Went Way and we follow the track to Birling Gap and on to Beachy Head.

I’m aware we’ve covered the route before but thought we would add a lunch stop at the Beachy Head Vintage Inn. Depending on the weather we should have some views along the coastline and shelter at the pub in case of more inclement weather.

Hoping that the route along the cliffs will not be as muddy as some potential stretches after the recent wet weather.

Please text the leader if you plan to join this route. Please see link below re information about the pub.
