There has been a lot of new build in the area and, as a result, this road is now quite busy, with nowhere to get off and walk easily. I now avoid at rush hour. However, it is well worth it for the views and overall sense of achievement (and of course it is our road as much as anyone else's).

Old bridge still used by railway!

There are superb blackberries here at the foot of the Beacon during late July and August.

Stanmer Park is a stunning historic woodland area that is quite literally a park for all seasons. It is simply great for mountain biking, and the Rollercoaster is the essence of a singletrack trail. Here it is all about keeping it going, keeping off the brakes, and enjoying the ride. A great bike run in a great park.

Nice enough trig pointed hilltop and easy enough to get to with grand views out over the South Downs.

An iconic sight in the South Downs National Park are the dew ponds, made for grazing livestock to drink from. This one is particularly striking at sunset and features a lone tree which reflects perfectly in the water.

Lewes Castle is a medieval fortress originally known as Bray Castle. Positioned strategically, it commands a prominent location, overseeing the gap in the South Downs shaped by the River Ouse and surrounded by the towns of Lewes and Cliffe. The castle is perched on a man-made mound located just north of Lewes' high street, crafted from locally sourced limestone and flint blocks.

East Sussex's historic county town, Lewes is a lovely place to explore. There are many interesting old buildings, from the 16th-century timber-framed Anne of Cleves House to the impressive Lewes Castle, and many quirky boutiques, pubs and eateries. There are plenty of excellent walking options in the surrounding countryside, from river rambles along the Ouse to more hilly affairs on the South Downs.
