A coastal, circular walk along the cliff edge. You will be able to see the famous Beachy Head lighthouse and views across Eastbourne and the sea.

 

How to get there

From the West: Head along the M4, then cut down to the A27 and carry on. From the North: Once passed London, take the M23/A23, then turn left when you see signs for Eastbourne. You should see signs for Beachy Head after a while.
