New for 2010 as we visit the South Downs and explore the famous white cliffs of Beachy Head and the Severn Sisters. Our 1st days walk, 7.5 miles with 1367ft of ascent and descent, starts from Beachy Head following a grassy trail overlooking the seaside resort of Eastbourne eventually descending into the small idyllic village of East Dean complete with village hall, village square and village pub, providing the perfect lunch stop. Rising out of the village through a wooded hillside which opens up to the fine views of the white cliffs of the English coastline and the first of two wonderful lighthouses we then pick up the South Downs Way at Birling Gap and follow the South Downs Way coastline walk with a couple of descents and steady climbs back to Beachy Head.
Day two finishes with a 7 mile, 1075ft ascent and descent walk from the seafront of Seaford along the South Downs Way incorporating the best viewpoint of the Severn Sisters before we begin the climb over them and finsihing in the tiny village of Friston. |
