    Tips

    Hiking

    This is the start or finish point of the 100-mile (160 km) South Downs Way at Eastbourne, depending on if you hike or cycle the route east or west.

    Cycling

    If you’re cycling the SDW, follow the SDW bridleway signs to the left. It’s a brutal climb, but you’ll get great views over Eastbourne!

    Hiking

    I was pretty glad to see this after a 160 kilometres and five days of hiking!
