Overview

We’ve done variations of this popular walk before. Today we start in the pretty village of Firle and make our way up on to the Downs and follow the South Downs Way in to Alfriston. On our way back we pass through Berwick and Alciston and follow the old coach road back to Firle.

The walk is still likely to be muddy in places so please have suitable footwear.

Please bring a snack and a picnic.

Please text the leader if you would like to join this walk.
