Bexhill’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked
Help connect Bexhill
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Bexhill’s Slow Ways.

The section through Combe Wood and along the disused railway line was an improvement on the 1066 route, but the short section of road walking between the pub and the church in Crowhurst is not worth it. Stick to the signed route through the fields on the edge of the village. The Combe Valley Country Park at the edge of Bexhill passes over some streams full of fish with loads of bees, dragonflies and butterflies buzzing around. Peters church at Bexhill is worth a look round....

Cross the road to St Peters church abnd bearing to the right, take the path on the left. Following the road up and around to your left will bring you after 300m to a metal gate and onto a straight path through an arable field into a wood. Going through the gate at the bottom of brings you out into the sunlight and the path across the arable field reaches a metalled track turning right up a short steep rise. At Powdermill Cottage, turn right again down a metalled road where the "Speed Bumps" appear to be superfluous. Continue along this private road through its protective gate to the T-junction where you'll turn left again onto a narrow road. Follow the path with an ancient brick wall and the Abbey to your right, brings you promptly into Battle Town Square....

It then moves onto field paths and country lanes across the Pevensey Levels. From Pevensey to Normans Bay the route uses an unclassified road which is unfortunately not free of traffic. From Cooden Beach to Bexhill, the route is along the seashore. There is a bit too much road walking between Pevensey and Normans Bay, but I'm still going to give the route 5*...

Nice, well marked coastal walk with a choice of (really accessable) paved or gravel route or beach walking....

One easy climb up to the viewpoint at Galley Hill just to the east of Bexhill....
Bostal Boy
A lovely walk, mostly flat and surfaced but with a few gravelly bits and sometimes a bit of shingle to walk over if the bike path hasn't been swept....
carfreetraveller
Nice coastal walk, all on paths or promenade so fairly flat. Plenty to see and lots of cafes....
Bernie
I walked a large section of this from Hailsham to Cooden Beach on 16th July. The route is along the top of the beach, across shingles at the start and finishing with the promenade at Bexhill....
Bostal Boy
A pleasant walk, following much of the Bexhill Link of the 1066 country walk (waymarked along the majority of this route). Starting urban, there is a nice mix of countryside trail, footpath and forest walking. In winter, certain sections can get extremely boggy and require heavy duty walking shoes or wellies, but through the summer you should be assured of dry conditions throughout....
EvanGill23
A few undulating hills just east of Bexhill, but otherwise smooth, easy, and with plenty of cafés on the way for a coffee stop....
EvanGill23
Would be improved by leaving out the road section inland from Norman's Bay and walking along the beach for that part....
