Route is mostly good path and lots of signposts making it easy to navigate....

Big climb to get to the top of elm grove but the views are exceptional....

It becomes slightly tricky to follow the right route through Sussex uni campus but only for a short time and Stanmer Wood makes it worthwhile....

Harry Holmes

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....

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....

Very simple route to follow, nice to walk along the race course path instead of next to the road for the top section. If you're starting near Happy Valley park in Woodingdean it's more interesting to walk up & over the fields instead of down Warren Road...Elm Grove is steep if coming from Brighton!...

Lovely, easy, scenic route from Woodindean straight to the heart of Lewes. One steepish chalky section to take care over if it's wet....

Most 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....

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....

Once over the road, a permissive bridle path heads briefly parallel to the main road then turns sharply to head uphill and onto the Downs. After crossing Ditchling Road the route heads into Stanmer Park towards the village which has a popular teashop. The path then heads into the campus of Sussex University (worth a look round), passing through and out to Falmer village....

Most of the walk approaching Brighton follows the race track where you can enjoy the beautiful panoramas of the coastline....

Hayley Dove

This is a pleasant walk into the city centre with fine views towards the sea and with a panorama of the whole city to the west....

In doing so one is taking the path people have followed between Brighton (previously Brighthelmstone) and Lewes for centuries....

Bostal Boy

This is a pleasant, direct and easy to follow route from the edge of Brighton into the centre of Lewes. Quite muddy when wet though!...

Walked as part of a longer walk to Lewes - so if you are doing the same then instead of going into Woodingdean itself, return to Warren Road before the end of the racecourse, and take the Drove Road where you will eventually join up with the Slow Way from Woodingdean to Lewes...

Really loved this walk - combined it with the Brighton to Woodingdean route with a small amend to that one to pick up the Drove Road earlier on Warren Road. Great views and no real challenges, though the chalk path downhill section from Castle Hill can need a little bit of care depending on the weather....
