Overview

This 11 mile circular walk starts up on the downs at Firle Bostal (cars required!). Walking via Hi and Over to Alfriston for lunch (30 to 40 minutes). Some cows, sheep, swans, goats, deep water and sudden drops in places, so dogs on leads where all that’s going on!

Car parking is £4 for 8 hours.  The car park at the start is at the top of the downs, so you will be driving up a sharp hill just before you park!  Please look at the map!
