The South Downs Way

Section of the Harvey's map of the South Downs Way. Contact us if you are interested in purchasing a copy of this great waterproof map which includes the whole length of the route, from Winchester in the West to Eastbourne.


From just above Edburton in the West to Lewes in the East, this ancient route along the top of the South Downs provides some spectacular scenery, with views across the Sussex weald north towards Surrey, and South to the English Channel. Walk it, cycle it, ride it, you can even jog it ... but however you travel, take time to stop and look. Once you arrive at the famous Ditchling Beacon you can start to look out for the stunning Seven Sisters cliffs in the distance towards Eastbourne.
