Sat 30 AUG 2025 BERWICK TO SEAFORD VIA ALFRISTON - Dave H

A gently undulating walk but with two extended hill climbs. From Berwick to the village of Wilmington with its ancient Church. Up to the Long Man chalk figure then down into Alfriston for lunch. Along the Cuckmere River valley for the second climb up for dramatic views along the river to Cuckmere Haven & the sea. Continue down to Exceat. Now a further 4 miles along the cliff coastal path to Seaford.
