Overview

An undulating five mile circular walk around Castle Hill Nature Reserve with some hilly sections. Option to have a drink afterwards at the Downs Hotel. The walk starts at the Castle Hill Car park near Woodingdean. BN2 6NT.

Also, Google Maps sometimes incorrectly shows the car park in Happy Valley! This is not the one. The Castle Hill car park is just to the north of Woodingdean near Bexhill Road.

The number 2 bus stops outside the Downs Hotel in Woodingdean. A short 5 minute walk from there to the start point.
