Description
A selection of short walks near the south coast towns.
The South Downs are easily accessible from several well-known towns along England’s south coast. The book focuses on walks around Brighton, Eastbourne and Arundel, taking in both open chalk landscapes and historic sites. This offers plenty of options when you want a walking excursion without setting aside a whole day.
Fifteen walks to well-known viewpoints.
The selection includes Devil’s Dyke, Bramber Castle, the Long Man of Wilmington and the coast at Seven Sisters and Beachy Head. Most of the walks are designed for shorter outings. You can therefore choose between heritage trails, hilltops and coastal scenery, depending on where you’re based and what your group wants to experience on a given day.
Maps and practical information for each walk.
Numbered points link the maps with the step-by-step route descriptions. Information on parking, facilities and possible breaks makes planning easier, while photographs show what the different options have to offer. The book is compact enough to bring along, while also providing a clear basis for choosing your next walk from wherever you’re staying.
Flexible outings with coastal weather in mind.
The walks suit regular walkers looking for a limited and easily accessible selection. Open ridges and clifftop paths can be exposed to wind, even over short distances. Use the descriptions to choose a route that matches your experience and the conditions, and switch between coast and inland if the weather changes your plans during your stay.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
