Walking Britain Download GPS FileAlfriston to Rodmell by the South Downs Way
Route Outline
This is a pleasant East Sussex walk between two attractive villages set within the South Downs in East Sussex. Whilst most of the walk follows the gentle undulations on the crest of the slope over typical grassed downs, there is a fairly long ascent to be undertaken near the start to get from the bottom of the Cuckmere Valley, and then at the end, a steep descent into the Ouse Valley. Look out for the SDW waymarkers along the walk, these will be the acorn symbol, and as this section is a bridleway, they are generally coloured blue.
