Overview

Explore the hidden green spaces of East Brighton. Starting behind St Peters church we cross The Level and ascend Tenantry Down via a grand Victorian Cemetery and a pocket park that was once a railway line before descending and then re ascending onto Hollingbury Castle for more panoramic views. We then make a grand circuit of Stanmer woods before ending in Falmer village.
