Recommended: The views are marvelous in all directions. A walk with road sections at the start and end and an open downland middle following obvious footpaths and bridlepaths. There is a fairly steep climb from Lower Willingdon up onto the Downs and with several kissing gates but no stiles; the bridlepaths on top can be wet and muddy. Follows a short section of the Wealdway then the South Downs Way all the way into Eastbourne, at the eastern end of the South Downs. No facilities along the way.

Hilly: half on high ground, rising above the surrounding land.

Lunch: No facilities along the way.

Warnings: Steep climb up onto the Downs. Bridlepaths on top can be wet and muddy. Sheep present.
