London Road to NCN 20 – South Downs National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Perfect tarmac, leading to NCN 20, the route taking you into the Brighton and Patcham area. It is a safe route yet noisy and windy as just by the main highway and you are going against the coming cars. Be careful of glass on the pavement.

Devil's Dyke

Highlight • Viewpoint

The climb up will get your legs and lungs working... but the views more than make up for it and the descent into Brighton is then a glorious reward! Well worth the hard work!

View from Bramble Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you are cycling along Devil's Dyke Road, it's worth a small diversion to this fantastic viewpoint at Devil's Dyke. It's one of the best views in West Sussex, and even more superb as the sun goes down. You'll be treated to a panoramic view of patchwork fields, clusters of woodland and the dramatic edge of the towering South Downs ridge.

You'll find the Devil's Dyke pub up here too, which has bike parking stands and benches outside. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset pint.
