Overview

Two hills on this Downland walk. The first is southwards on a gentle climb up East Dean hill, with good views a most of the way round. Backdown to East Dean, then a gentle climb northwards following paths along either side of the valley. Just one short but steepish climb up from Postles Barn to the woods leading to a descent down New Road, and back into East Dean.
