View of the South Downs from Alfriston Road

Highlight • Natural

I have a different experience to Charlie. Regular, fast-moving traffic and many close passes on the no-limits stretch between Seaford and Alfriston - and that was on a Sunday afternoon! Not for the faint-hearted.

Friston Hill Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If it wasn't for the (often very impatient!) traffic in peak times and on sunny weekends, a nice and challenging road climb kicking up to 16% ..or thrilling descent coming down it into East Dean.

Herbrand Walk Coastal Road, Cooden Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

A splendid section of road that runs right along Cooden Beach, so close that the beach gravel often overlaps onto the road. Amazing views out to see, particularly towards Eastbourne and the South Downs.
