The walk

East Dean East Sussex Walk

This is a lovely pub walk from the pretty village of East Dean in East Sussex.

The walk is quite a simple one that includes lots of fresh air and open countryside as well as a stretch of walking along the lovely coastline and Seven Sisters cliffs. The lovely pub is at the start in the village.

As with all coastal walks, please be very careful when you are anywhere close to cliff edges.

Walker review

Lovely walk, we had the added challenge of strong winds along the cliff, which was certainly bracing! Big up and down hills along the coastal path. Sheep and cows in most fields.Toilets available at the start (village hall and cafes).

Walker review

Beautiful hike. Easy to fillow if you use the app.

Walker review

On this walk, head straight uphill at the start and then it's a bit of guess work. We were rattled to have to cross a field full of sheep and lambs, with two dogs, one a new one. There may not have been styles on this route but there was roundabout gates - OK for humans to get through, but not so easy for dogs.
