Peacehaven’s four Slow Ways are 56% checked
Help connect Peacehaven
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 Peacehaven’s Slow Ways.

The majority of this route follows the Egret's Way, presenting a choice between walking on the raised riverbank or the surfaced cycle lane for all the time you follow the Ouse....

David Sanderson added Pealew three, a new walk from Peacehaven to Lewes
Walk this routeOn arrival in Lewes, the route takes you off the footpath and on to a track which leads to a locked gate at water works. Sadly a failure. I will post a corrected version as I was able to complete the walk...
David Sanderson
The plotting is a bit vague which made it hard to follow at first from Saltdean and the footpath has clearly been moved to avoid eroding clifftops but it's a well marked route on the ground....

Cliff is fenced off for the whole of this route and walking in the winter you'll find its a bit muddy in places....

Walked this on 20th August 2023 really nice route up through the castle hill nature reserve. Loads of benches to enjoy a drink and the view...

This is a lovely walk, following the well signed England Coast Path pretty much all the way - so it's dead easy to follow. I'd suggest it should either be by the Roderick Avenue bus stop - there's a few shops, cafes etc here and some buses along the coast road are limited stop and Roderick Avenue is the only stop that these buses serve in Peacehaven....

MJRW12345 added Salpea two, a new walk from Saltdean to Peacehaven
Walk this routeMost of the route is on downland paths where the South Downs National Park butts up against the scruffy edges of Brighton. Some of the paths were slippery with chalky mud....

Walk this routeThe upper path along the levee bank is more overgrown. A new cycle path called the Egrets Way has been laid below the levee bank for part of the route....

The Highway is an unmade road that passes through a static caravan park and past scattered houses as the outskirts of Peacehaven and Newhaven merge into each other around the phone mast on Rushy Hill. From here the route descends into Newhaven, close by the old Norman church of St....

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....

Route follows the river Ouse for the majority and then follows a tarmacked bridleway over the hill into Peacehaven....
