Overview

Join us for another in the series of circular  walks  from Alfriston,  9.5 miles, taking in lovely views, with some hills. Toilets at the start and opportunity for refreshments in Alfriston on our return! 

Walk has changed from the original due to high water levels on the river Cuckmere.

From Alfriston we will head up on to the South Downs Way passing Bo-Peep + Firle Beacon  before descending steeply onto the Old Coach track near Firle Place. We’ll head back to Alfriston along the foot of the Downs via the villages of Alciston + Berwick.

Enjoy the views - look around!!!
