17 Dec 2023A decent walking route between Newhaven and Seaford.
Between Newhaven Harbour and Bishopstone the path is quite narrow and muddy in places and the bridge over the railway has a flight of stairs on either side.
Between Bishopstone and Seaford the route is mostly on the tarmac-ed promenade.
There is a cafe van at Bishopstone, even in the winter and there is a water refill point on the promenade at the Seaford end.

28 Apr 2022As the previous review mentions, this route is one of the easiest between Newhaven and Seaford. It utilises the Vanguard way so is a fairly well trodden path. Accessibility is limited due to the railway bridge and some smaller/little overgrown paths.

02 Oct 2021This is the obvious walk from Newhaven to Seaford. There's a short section through a scruffy light industrial area to a pedestrian bridge over the railway. After this, the route follows the Vanguard Way to Seaford. It passes the overgrown ruins of the Victorian Tide Mills, then alongside the beach.
On the outskirts of Seaford, the sailing clubhouse is a friendly place to stop for a coffee. From this point on, the promenade along the seafront is wide, paved and not very busy. The high cliff of Seaford Head looms in the distance, but that's for another Slow Way.
Accessibility is a bit of an issue on this route. The bridge over the railway has a lot of steps either side, and the path alongside Mill Creek is not very wide and a little overgrown at the end of the Summer. However, the route is well-traced and easy to follow. I like this walk and have done it several times in the past.
