Descrizione dell'itinerario

EXCEAT BRIDGE - NEWHAVEN

106km from the suburbs of Croydon to the sea at Newhaven. On the way you will pass through a National Park, two areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Heritage Coast, and 3 scheduled sites of national or regional interest. There are great views throughout the route, including two of the best in Britain: the Cuckmere meanders and the Seven Sisters. Nearly all of the route is on public rights of way, and goes mostly through open countryside and woodland. The route is well served by public transport, so you can easily walk it on day trips. A free printable description of the route is available at www.vanguardway.org.uk

The end is nigh. This section starts by rejoining the Cuckmere River as it enters the sea. At Cuckmere Haven you can dip your toes in the English Channel - but take care as the current can be very strong. If you want to swim, best wait till Seaford where there are more people around in case help is needed. A steady climb up to Seaford Head brings the reward of outstanding views, first back towards the spectacular sight of the Seven Sisters, then ahead along the Sussex Coast towards Brighton. A long stroll along Seaford promenade follows, passing a fascinating Martello tower, then it is back to footpaths again, past the historic Tide Mills to journey end at Newhaven Harbour. The section is level except for the ascent over Seaford Head.
