Cycling

Nearing the top of Telscombe Hill you cross into Telscombe Tye, a stretch of common running from Telescombe village down to Telscombe Cliffs. It is one of the few places where the Downs landscape meets the sea and is a fine example of chalk grassland habitat. Nationally important Bronze Age earthworks lies within its boundaries, including bowl barrows – burial mounds dating from 3,000 years ago.
