Lewes to Seaford with cooling dip in the sea

SWC 181: Lewes to Seaford with cooling dip in the sea 

Train: Take the 9:54 AM Southern service from London Victoria (10:01 Clapham Junction and 10:10 East Croydon), arriving Lewes at 10:56. Return trains from Seaford are half hourly at 24 and 53 past the hour. Buy a day return to Seaford.

Distance: 13.9 miles/22.3 km with shorter options available -- see the walk notes.

Difficulty: 7 out of 10

This walk is mainly along ridges and offers superb downland views throughout with an excellent lunchtime pub. The beauty of this walk is that you can see the way ahead so direction finding is fairly easy. In addition to the fine views throughout, this walk offers the reward of a cooling dip in the sea when you arrive at the waterfront in Bishopstone. More information and the walk directions can be found here.

Lunch: The recommended lunch stop is the Ram Inn in West Firle 5.5 miles (9km) into the walk. 

Tea: Various options in Seaford.....including the lovely pub on the station!
