The walk starts from the roadside adjacent to St Andrews church, centre of Bishopstone. Parking – in the main road and a residents “track”. We will be there to make recommendations. Directions: Towards Newhaven but left B2109 to join the A259 road to Seaford. About 3 miles, just before the minor road right to Bishopstone Station (Marine Parade) left into Bishopstone Road to the centre of Bishopstone. Firle Beacon car park now charges £1.20 per hour, therefore a new starting point for this established circular walk. Because of recent weather conditions, the car park near Bopeep Farm/Bostal Hill is in a dreadful condition.
