About this Event
Join us for a 90-minute guided seaside stroll from Brighton to the lovely village of Rottingdean, a walk of about 4 miles eastwards along the Sussex coast. This activity is for everybody – there is no rush, it is entirely off-road on good paved paths with no steep hills, and it is suitable for dogs and children.
[Alternatively, the same route can be covered in a guided bicycle tour on official cycle paths – please enquire via www.marcgardiner.com].
Starting from the entrance to Sea Life (the world's oldest aquarium) located in front of Brighton Pier, we follow the beach to Brighton Marina whilst your guide describes the history and geography of the area. We then take the coastal path under white cliffs to the picturesque village of Rottingdean which is over 1000 years old, and where there are a number of historical sites and refreshment options.
Your ticket includes a sandwich snack with soft drink on arrival in Rottingdean, or alternatively a traditional English tea with cake or scones.
After our refreshment break, you are free to enjoy the area around Rottingdean - relax on the village beach, or visit local historic sites such as the gardens of Rudyard Kipling's former home, the Georgian era Beacon Windmill inside the local Nature Reserve, or the Grange Museum & Art Gallery.
There are also lovely views on offer as we look further along the English Channel towards Eastbourne -why not make a day of it and visit the South Downs National Park, including Seven Sisters (a series of magnificent chalk sea cliffs) and the infamous Beachy Head?
The return journey to Brighton is unaccompanied and at your leisure. It can be done from Rottingdean on foot (90’), by local bus (45'), by bicycle (30’), or by taxi (15’). Your guide will be pleased to provide further information and assistance.
