03 Apr 2022A busy road one side, a beautiful view out to sea the other. Some steep parts, but was accompanied by a mobile octagenarian so good accessibility. Beware rabbit holes though. Not suitable for wheelchairs in places. Overall though well worth doing.

02 Oct 2021A fairly short Slow Way which starts off following the grassy clifftop path, far enough away from the South Coast Road to not notice it. Oddly, once the route hits the outskirts of Peacehaven, the planner has taken the route away from the cliffs and onto the main road for a mile. The main drag through Peacehaven has plenty of shops and cafes, but it cannot be described as pretty. I'd carry on along the top of the cliffs and jink into the end point at the last moment (Keymer Avenue). In this way you will pass the Greenwich Meridian Memorial, Peacehaven's only landmark.
I agree with reviewer MJRW12345, the Peacehaven endpoint is in the wrong place.
