A moderate walk (low hills and fells (below 600m)) starting and finishing in Brighton and Hove, England, about 12.80km (7.95 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 4:00h. It is unsuitable for families with children, prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.
Either continue in the direction you've been headng and pas via Streat Hill Farm, or extend the walk by turning northwards and a few more contours to meet the South Downs Way to the East of Ditchling Beacon.
From here you can take any number of routes into town. But make sure you leave time to explore this beautiful market town, with it's Castle, boutique shopping and Brewery (tours available).
For frequent services to London, Ashford, Eastbourne, and Brighton.
About 0.34 km (~0.21 miles) from

Lovely Walk
A lovely route. We thoroughly enjoyed this relatively gentle ramble that gave us beautiful views over the downs. An afternoon well spent.

Falmer Is In Brighton
Just to correct a previous comment, we live in Falmer and it is in fact considered to be part of Brighton (Brighton is included in our postal address). Slightly confusing but the author is not incorrect. We have yet to do the walk but have been inspired by this post!
Hi Helen
You could be right, sometimes the distances are overestimated due to the way the website calculates them, looks to me like 11-12 km at a rough estimate.

Good point! I expect the author counted Falmer as part of Brighton, but we'll correct it as it isn't really. Thanks Tim

This is a lovely walk but it is not a walk from Brighton to Lewes its a walk from Falmer to Lewes.
