Figure of 8 from East Dean with option for pub lunch at the Star and Garter

Starting from the picturesque Downland village of East Dean, we climb up East Dean hill, with some great views of the Downs to the north. Returning to East Dean via a gentle forestry track. Those who only want a short walk can stop off for a coffee at the Star and Garter. The longer part of the eight climbs gently northwards , again with great views, then descending down through trees to a flinty farm track. We then have a short , but steepish climb up to the ridge opposite Postles Barn, followed by a gentle forest descent back to East Dean
