Tips

The Yawning Kea

December 29, 2020

Cycling

A recently renovated, reopened in June 2020, pedestrian and cycle tunnel that links Saltdean Lido and the Undercliff. It was originally built in 1933, at the same time at the Undercliff and sea defences. Whereas the tunnel used to be relatively plain and brick lined, its now got a stunning underwater/sea-life themed mural, created by Brighton based artists Sarah Gillings and REQ (the latter also of Skint records fame).
