BRIGHTON AND THE SOUTH DOWNS: 40 FAVOURITE WALKS

Brighton is a great place from which to explore one of England’s most recognisable and best-loved landscapes. As well as the old chalk grasslands, the South Downs encompass deciduous, coniferous and mixed woodland; heathland and wetland; shingle beach and saltmarsh. The 40 walks cover the area of the Downs around Brighton, extending to Eastbourne in the east and as far as Worthing and the Findon Valley in the west, and from the Channel coast to the foot of the Downs’ steep northern escarpment at the edge of the Sussex Weald.
