Quiet lanes and green byways lead us to the quaint village of Ditchling, before the trail steepens toward Ditchling Beacon — one of the South East’s loftiest points. From here, the panorama opens wide: the Weald to the north and the English Channel growing larger to the south.From the high ground we thread through rolling downs and woodland pockets, turning toward Stanmer Park. We pass Stanmer House and the historic village, then continue via the University of Sussex at Falmer. Cresting the ridgeline by Brighton Racecourse and Whitehawk Hill, we traverse species-rich grassland with sweeping views over the city and sea.Our finale is a descent into Brighton, finishing on the lively seafront. We’ll have around 50–70 minutes to explore: wander the Lanes with live buskers, dip a toe in the sea, try the zip wire, or round things off with classic fish and chips on the beach.TOUGHNESS WARNING - this is a tough and hilly hike and is also long. You need to be an experienced and fit hiker. It is not for beginners or anyone who has only done intermediate hikes.To be fair to those attending, if you are unable to keep up with the group or finish the hike, you will need to leave the hike and get a taxi at your own expense. Our pace will average 4 to 4.2kmph.At over 500m ascent, it is 2/3 of the ascent of Mount Snowdon from Pen Y Pass - the most popular start point.If you have any doubts at all then this is not a hike to join, please choose one of our less tough hikes. If you are unsure, email us, but anyone who cannot keep up with the group will need to leave the hike and no refund will be due - only sign up if you are happy with this.🧭 Guide:• Leader: GRAHAM• Contact (hike day only): 07796 098487🍽️ Food:• Bring a packed lunch• Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional)🎒What to Bring• Hiking boots/shoes• Water (2 litres minimum)• Packed lunch• Waterproofs (jacket and trousers)• Hat and gloves if cold• Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point⚠️ SafetyYour guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider❓ Want to Know More?• New to Our Trips?
