East Sussex Walking Guide

Sitting alongside the English Channel in the southeast corner of England, East Sussex is famed for its rolling hills and magnificent wealdland, Norman battlefields and medieval villages, towering chalk cliffs and hip seaside resorts. The county is also traversed by the South Downs Way long-distance walking route and is home to England’s newest national park, as well as miles of beautiful sandy coastline. From short forays into wildlife-rich wetlands, nature reserves and woodlands to longer riverside meanders and treks along spectacular sea cliffs, the 40 varied walks in this guide cover the best walking this glorious county has to offer.
