Waypoints
Start of the walk.
Houses the town museum.
Make sure you turn around and appreciate the view from the top of Seaford Head.
This view of the Seven Sisters will blow you away.
Film buffs amongst you may recognise these cottages from a recent Ian McEwan novel . . .
A pity about the traffic noise hear, so hasten onwards across the bridge and head back along the eastern bank of the river.
From here, the only is up!
Pause for breath.
Hop down to the beach for a paddle or pop in the pub for a pint.
Now a private dwelling, this was going to fall into the sea until it was dragged on rollers back from the edge! You can still see the space it used to occupy.
Dramatically high - not for the faint hearted !
For regular buses back to Seaford and onwards to Brighton, or to Eastbourne Town Centre. For timetables see www.buses.co.uk.
