Overview

Meet on the promenade at the corner of St Leonards Rd and West Parade (free parking along both and surrounding roads). We head east following the beach to Seabrook then turn inland through woods to reach the Shorncliffe military Cemetery. The path turns west down some steep steps undulating through Parker wood and Scene wood. We pass Saltwood Castle to reach Chesterfield wood and descend following Brockhill Country Park paths back to Hythe and the start. The Lazy Shack cafe on the beach at the start/end should be open for coffee, cake and lunch. Assistance dogs only.
