Length: 23.5 km (14.5 miles) with options to shorten to 18-19 km. 6/10
A varied South Downs walk featuring the Sussex Ouse, Centenary Park (Peacehaven), the Undercliff Path, Telscombe Tye, and optional climbs. It also passes a surprising monument to the point where the Greenwich Meridien crosses the coast, hence the walk page's reference to visiting both hemispheres.
Travel: 0954 from Victoria, changing at Lewes for the 1100 to Seaford, arriving at Southease six minutes later. Regulars will be familiar with the dash across the station at Lewes. The latter train normally waits till the train from London has left, so we should be fine, but be in the middle carriages to be nearest the stairs to Platform 3. Return trains from Southease at 05 past the hour.
Lunch: The recommended lunch stop is the Smugglers' Rest but an extremely wide choice in Peacehaven is listed on the walk intro page.
Tea: The YHA Courtyard Cafe, 200m beyond Southease station, is a good place to wait for the hourly return train.
