Downs Link at Botolphs

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a drinking fountain and fountain following in the direction of the South Downs Way, just before you reach the road. Following the river towards Steyning the road winds and you have to pay attention to the signs to take the fork that follows your route.

Edburton Road

Highlight • Cycleway

Edburton Road, which runs east to west between Poynings and Small Dole/Bramber, is a quiet, sometimes narrow, rolling road along the foot of the South Downs escarpment, close to the geological unconformity where the Chalk meets the Upper Greensand. It’s one of several roads along the foot of the Downs, which when combined make up a very pleasant route that extends all the way to Lewes.

View of South Downs from Seddlescombe Farm

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rustic courtyard with pop-up coffee shop (Wildflour Cafe) doing breakfasts, lunches and cake (plus water refill tap just a few yards further up the SDW).
A more peaceful alternative to the pub up at the Dyke itself.

Fancy a pint at the highest point in West Sussex? This is the place for you. The Devil's Dyke pub stands at 213 m and provides some absolutely breathtaking views across the South Downs National Park and out to the English Channel.
