Saltdean’s three Slow Ways are 92% checked
Help connect Saltdean
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 Saltdean’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
Also new boardwalks along the beach at kemptown which makes for lovely flat easy walking/wheeling away from the traffic and closer to the waves....
MPHoplling
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....
David Sanderson
Having grown up in the area was slightly puzzled by some of the choices of streets in the North Laine, but that's minor....
David Sanderson
Cliff is fenced off for the whole of this route and walking in the winter you'll find its a bit muddy in places....
MJRW12345
The route was accurate apart from some confusion over the route into Queen’s Park and also we walked through the play park in Saltdean rather than looping up the hill....
Wobbly Wanderer
Great walk out with some lovely ladies and the black tri tribe great route and it was buggy/beginner friendly. Also good transport links into town...
Kelly Smith
Shoutout to Kelly for an amazing hike/walk, I really enjoyed enjoyed. It was also a great opportunity for me to network and meet new friends. Thank you Kelly....
Catherine
The route was great; lots of flat, easy land, a few hills but nothing taxing. The website & its navigation could be better, not terribly intuitive and a little clunky at times....
Martine
Shortly after the start there is a section up Albion Hill, one of the steepest roads in Brighton, which might come as a shock if you are not used to it....
Debora
This is (in my opinion) the obvious route to take between Brighton and Saltdean. All on tarmac, really easy to navigate, no issues....
MJRW12345
The only feedback is that the route wasn’t clear if it wanted us to walk above or below the cliff....
Kelly Smith
Nice route, walking uphill to the Racecourse through Hanover and east bouldering green area. Then mostly downhill with a scenic view to the sea!...
Stefania
MJRW12345 added Salpea two, a new walk from Saltdean to Peacehaven
Walk this routeThe undercliff walk is flat and offers beautiful views of the white chalk cliffs....
Saira
Some steep parts, but was accompanied by a mobile octagenarian so good accessibility....
Sean Jarrett
The route follows the promenade until you hit Brighton Marina, there's a gentle incline up to the chalk cliffs offering lovely views of the South Downs National Park....
Saira
This is the undercliff option for walking between Brighton Marina and Saltdean rather than using BRISAL One which uses the clifftop footpath alongside the busy A259....
Bostal Boy
The Downland paths were quite well defined, though there was a short section where I was following hoof prints in the grass due to the fog....
Bostal Boy
Bostal Boy added Brisal three, a new walk from Brighton to Saltdean
Walk this routeAt this point the route ramps up to the cliff top to pass above the Marina complex, then follows the top of the cliffs for about three miles past Rottingdean to Saltdean. The path as far as Rottingdean is alongside the busy South Coast Road passing Roedean School, the Blind Veterans rehabilitation centre and Rottingdean windmill....
Bostal Boy
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....
Bostal Boy
Better to walk along the under cliff was rather than on the cliffs....
