Overview

From Newhaven fort, one of my regular walks but this time we will do it anti-clockwise.  Starting off with a walk along the harbour side then through Newhaven and along the banks of the Ouse to Piddinghoe.After a coffee stop we ascend to Bullock Down and drop down to Telscombe Village.  A steep bit of road out of the village then a slow descent with fabulous sea views to join the coast path at Telscombe Cliffs and a lunch stop.  The remainder  of the walk follows the English coast path back to Castle Hill with great sea views all the way.
