Herbrand Walk Coastal Road, Cooden Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

A splendid section of road that runs right along Cooden Beach, so close that the beach gravel often overlaps onto the road. Amazing views out to see, particularly towards Eastbourne and the South Downs.

View of the South Downs from Alfriston Road

Highlight • Natural

I have a different experience to Charlie. Regular, fast-moving traffic and many close passes on the no-limits stretch between Seaford and Alfriston - and that was on a Sunday afternoon! Not for the faint-hearted.

Friston Forest Litlington Road Entrance

Highlight • Parking

This is the western, Litlington Road, access point (and car park) to Friston Forest, which has a good network of cycle and walking trails, including some relatively good quality singletrack.

Litlington White Horse

Highlight • Natural Monument

Don't miss this viewpoint of the white horse.

During the 19th century, a chalk figure of a horse was cut into the face of the downs west of the village Litlington.

The Long Man of Wilmington

Highlight • Monument

Windover Hill is famous for the Longman of Wilmington (or the ‘Wilmington Giant’), a huge figure carved into the slopes.

The human figure is 235 feet (72 m) tall and holds two ‘staves’.
