Firle Beacon Walks and Map

We don't normally feature 'there and back' walks, but this short one is worth it as it takes you along a glorious section of the South Downs Way to get you to the breathtaking viewpoint at the Firle Beacon.

You are already up high where you park, so there isn't too much climbing on this route.

This second route is basically a circular walk that takes in the majestic views of Firle Beacon and then takes you on a long and exposed walk through the peaceful hills of the South Downs.

This longer walk has quite a few ups and downs along the way, so please go prepared with lots of energy.

This third option is a longer walk again, and the required energy levels really step up as it takes you down the very steep hills of the downs towards the village of Firle.

You'll then explore the village with it's lovely pub and stroll through the pretty Firle Park before embarking on the extremely tough climb back up onto the downs.

It really is worth all the effort though for the views alone, especially from Firle Beacon.

The final route option is basically the other walks all joined together to create the ultimate epic adventure from this lovely section of the South Downs.

The walk is very long with lots of strenuous hill climbing, so please go prepared with the appropriate clothing, refreshments and alternative navigation.

There is a pub in the village of Firle though, so you can top up your energy levels there if required! (please call to check opening times)
