Our walk will begin at Crowlink National Trust car park. If you are a National Trust member, please bring your card for free parking; if not, perhaps join with someone who is.  The most straightforward way to Friston is to take the A22 to Polegate. Turn right at the traffic lights, along Wannock Road to Jevington. Continue to the junction with the A259, cross over the road to Friston Church immediately opposite, then follow the track with the church on your left, to the car park.
