Climb to the Beachy Head Viewpoint

Highlight • Trail

Get your lungs ready, you have a nice steep pull to the top of the hill before you start to get the glorious views towards Beachy Head lighthouse.

Tip by

14.5 km

Singletrack Path to Chapel Hill

Highlight • Trail

South Downs Way - Incline 10% tree covered single track

Tip by

28.9 km

Stone Steps on the South Downs Way

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Get ready for a lung bursting thigh pumping five minutes to do the steps of doom. Not quite as bad as the heading suggests but a good high intensity addition to your run session.

Tip by

30.1 km

View of the Cuckmere Valley

Highlight • Natural Monument

This is a beautiful section of the South Downs Way that goes through the Seven Sisters Country Park. The views of the Cuckmere River are simply divine and the countryside is just so typical English and beautiful.

Tip by

34.1 km

Seven Sisters Chalk Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

To be honest this is just iconic British scenery and on the right day the best you could ever wish for. To get the best views you need to be offset to the cliffs a tad.

Tip by

35.7 km

Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

A busy hub for people coming to walk and admire the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs. There is a cafe, toilet block, ice cream van (in summer), shop, visitors’ centre and lots of indoor and outdoor seating.
