Black Rock Undercliff Walk

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Great undercliff walk perfect for cycling, can be a little busy, obviously be mindful that salt in the are won't be good for you chain in the long term and you can easily get splashed when the wind is up, also when it is windy expect to go very slow...

Madeira Terrace

Highlight • Historical Site

Madeira Terrace is a Grade 2* listed, 865-metre-long stretch of seafront arches and promenade on Madeira Drive in Brighton.
Originally built in the late 1800s, more and more of it has been closed to the public since 2014. This is because the local marine environment has degraded the structure and made it unsafe.

Due to the current level of funding we have for this project and the size of the restoration works we need to do, we’ll be restoring Madeira Terrace in phases.

Brighton Palace Pier

Highlight • Monument

Brighton Pier, also known as the Brighton Palace Pier or the Palace Pier, is a historic pier on Brighton seafront.

It was originally constructed in 1823 as a simple promenade pier, but was extensively rebuilt and expanded in 1899 to its current length of 1,722 feet (525 m).

The much-loved landmark features a wide range of attractions including rides, restaurants, bars and arcades.

The pier was damaged by a fire in 2003, but was subsequently restored and reopened to the public. Today, it remains a vibrant and bustling hub of activity, attracting millions of visitors each year.

Nestled at the side of the road is House Dean Farm. It is a family run campsite that also has a very small shop selling lovely coffees and snacks, perfect to refuel and refill!

Newhaven Harbour

Highlight • Bridge

A canal was dug here in the 16th century through the gravel banks of the Ouse Estuary, creating a harbor sheltered on the west by the South Downs. In 1847 Newhaven got a rail connection with London, soon followed by a ferry service to the French Dieppe.

Seaford Head is the best place to enjoy spectacular views of the Seven Sisters and Cuckmere Valley. A short walk from the car park at South Hill Barn takes you to one of the most spectacular views of the Seven Sisters, a wonderful undulating line of chalk cliffs.

Ouse Estuary Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

There are two public footpaths that cross the reserve and a new cycle path that runs all the way to Seaford. The cycle path is part of National Cycle Route 2.
The routes are flat and suitable for both adults and children. The bike path and footpath to the bird viewing screen are paved and suitable for electric buggies and wheelchairs.
The other footpath is not paved and is not a dedicated cycle path, but you can cycle along it in dry weather (within the reserve). Don't cycle past it when the ground is soft, as your tires can damage the surface.
