We are the Brighton and Hove Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk begins from Housedean Farm, crosses over the A27, and follows the South Downs Way, climbing gently up to Kingston Ridge. With wonderful views over the South Downs and Sussex Weald, we continue round past Swanborough Hill and branch off following the path down into the valley and then up towards Balsdean Reservoir. The walk then makes its way down into Rottingdean where there is a good choice of eateries and buses.
Despite two fairly gentle climbs up onto the Downs, much of the walk follows high paths on the crests of downland, with wonderful views both inland to Sussex and out to the sea. OS map 122
Assistance dogs only on this walk please.
Meet below the Housedean bus stop on the Brighton to Lewes Road, between Falmer village and the Newmarket.
The walk will finish in the village of Rottingdean, where there is a good choice of places to lunch and buses back to Brighton or along the coast towards Eastbourne.
