Lovely river view from the swing bridge

Good Coffee and friendly staff

Great local brewery. Outside covered seating with street food vendors and bar snacks also available.

Nice point to stop for coffee and serves hot food and cakes. Both indoor and outdoor seating and somewhere to lock up your bike but as locations go this is pretty off the beaten track so theft is a lower risk than more urban locations.

Just below Newmarket Hill on Drove Avenue there is a communications mast. The views of the countryside towards Brighton and beyond to the sea from here are super nice, as they are out over Falmer Road to Ditchling Beacon way in the distance. Drove Avenue is a super good track too, great on a mountain bike, or gravel bike.

Great views across the river and a great surface in all conditions.

At over 650 feet (200 m), Ditchling Beacon gives you a good climb and a great vantage point to see out over the surrounding countryside. To the north you look back at the lush countryside of the Weald, to the south are views of Brighton, and to the east and west, the rolling undulating views out over the South Downs.

Beautiful route over unpaved paths
