East Sussex 40 Coast & Country Walks

Sitting alongside the English Channel in the southeast corner of England, East Sussex is famed for its rolling hills and magnificent wealdland, Norman battlefields, and charming medieval villages, towering chalk cliffs, and hip seaside resorts. The county is also traversed by the South Downs Way National Trail and is home to England's newest National Park as well as miles of beautiful sandy coastline. From short forays into wildlife rich wetlands, nature reserves and woodlands to longer riverside meanders and rollercoaster treks along the spectacular sea cliffs, the 40 varied walks in this guide cover the best walking this glorious county has to offer.

Each walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time, terrain, parking, and public transport access where available. Clear route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest along the way and there are colour photographs throughout.

The walks are arranged into five geographical sections:
Crowborough and Ashdown Forest
Around Lewes
Wadhurst, Heathfield and the High Weald
Around Eastbourne
Hastings, Battle and Rye
