We are the Rother Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A 6.5 mile, moderate to brisk pace walk starting from Pett Level, climbing up along the coast via the Firehills to the Bale House visitor centre. From there we head through Fairlight and across farmland to Pett, before turning for home.
Great Coastal and Countryside views. Fairly hilly at 780ft ascent in total, most of it in the first half. Loo stop and banana break (other fruits are available!) about halfway round.
There are about eight stiles, all without dog gates. There are sheep in all the fields in the second half of the walk.
There will be some road walking, and the path up to Fairlight is narrow and has deep gullies in places. I would say this walk would not be described as particularly dog-friendly, but if you do decide to bring your dog I'd request that you keep them on a lead and at the back.
Thank you.
Park along Pett Level Road and meet in the private car park opposite the (still closed ) Smugglers Inn.
