A hard walk (coast) in national park South Downs starting and finishing in Brighton and Hove, England, about 40.40km (25.10 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 13:00h (1 overnight stay). It is suitable for families with children, but unsuitable for prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.

This walk joins together some of the places I discovered during six years living in Brighton. A lot of the walk is along the South Downs Way, with a few diversions to good pubs along the way. Tailending the walk with the piers in Brighton and Eastbourne is symbolic as much as anything, but what finer way to enjoy a walk along some of England's finest seaside?

We did this as a fundraiser. Great walk, but distance is more like 29 miles we found

The suggestion is to start in Brighton as the prevailing wind tends to be from the South West (although it isn't always of course). A long day into a strong headwind up on the Downs can be hard work. We recommend keeping eye an on the weather forecast and plan your route accordingly or be flexible with the date. Enjoy the route!
