nice steady climb with breathtaking views, if you turn left at the gate (before crossing) you will see a path to your further left leading to a pub called Sheppard and Dog with a nice beer garden - this is a S2 descent so be careful

Great views

From here, whichever route you choose it will involve a climb. Pick wisely

The Sussex Border Path is a long-distance footpath that is nearly 150 miles (241 km) long and goes around the county boundary of Sussex. It is a relatively new trail initiated in 1983, and since its inception, the route has only traced the county boundary. As Sussex has been split administratively into east and west for many years, there is now a new border path section running from East Grinstead to Brighton, reflecting these east and west sections. This is part of that section and runs from Ditchling Beacon to Fishersgate, or vice versa. The section is 12 miles (19 km) long and consists of Ditchling Beacon itself, sections of beautiful bridleways with sea views, and the famous Chattri Indian War Memorial.

Wakehurst, a stately home and botanical garden in West Sussex, is owned by the National Trust but managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The mansion is from the late 16th century and the garden from the 20th century. The grounds also include Kew's Millennium Seed Bank. You'll walk through various nature reserves and visitor centres during your visit. Wakehurst is listed as Grade I on the National Heritage List for England and its gardens and historic buildings are listed as Grade II. https://www.kew.org/wakehurst

This is a beautiful spot, there is a trig point that is placed on one of the ramparts of the actual Iron Age hillfort here. It is very popular with walkers, and families. The valley bowl is also particularly beautiful.

Be warned of the water fullies added to the track. Sometimes the gates in the vallies are shut, sometimes not. The grass section is stunning for the views on a good day. Once at the top, it's a very gentle climb to Devils Dyke so you're nearly there.

If you are cycling along Devil's Dyke Road, it's worth a small diversion to this fantastic viewpoint at Devil's Dyke. It's one of the best views in West Sussex, and even more superb as the sun goes down. You'll be treated to a panoramic view of patchwork fields, clusters of woodland and the dramatic edge of the towering South Downs ridge. You'll find the Devil's Dyke pub up here too, which has bike parking stands and benches outside. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a sunset pint.
