Other walks in the area
Rye from the North
Pleasant hike that crosses through pastures, crops, apple orchards and some vineyards. The majority of the circuit is along grassy paths. When crossing pastures, don't forget to close gates behind you.
Cliff End circular
Set off to explore a small coastal area between Rye and Hastings. Cliffs, a long pebble beach, a military canal from the Napoleonic era, marshes, sheep, a mill, pastures in a green and undulating landscape with paths, gates and stiles galore.
The old fishing quarter of The Stade Hastings
A loop through the old fishing quarter of Hastings, nestled between two hills. Old half-timbered houses from the 15th and 16th century. Pathways and stairways connecting sloped streets and views over the town and the sea. Fishing boats are lined up on the pebbles along the beach of this significant fishing port. The net huts, lined up like giant beach huts, are unique to Hastings.
Hastings to Rye via Winchelsea
Lovely walk from Hastings to Rye, passing by Pett Level and Winchelsea, accessible by train to Hastings.
Really nice views from Hastings to Pett Level following the cliffs, but then it gets a bit repetitive between Pett Level and Winchelsea. A lot of fields to cross (including harvesting ones), especially after Winchelsea, so I really recommend having the GPX to follow the official "trails".
Sussex Coast Path - Hastings to Eastbourne
Coast route following the proposed route for the England Coast Path. A very typical English seaside walk passing through the resorts of Hastings, St Leonards and Bexhill to end at Eastbourne. There is plenty of promenade walking with some beach walking. The beach is predominantly shingle throughout which makes it hard going. Because of this the section around Normans Bay and Pevensey Bay uses the coast road behind the coastal embankment to make it easier going. The ends of the walk are linked by the railway making for a very pleasant one day sectional walk.
Dungeness & Romney Marsh
This Kent walk explores a unique landscape, offers excellent bird watching and in complete contrast you pass a nuclear powerstation. There is also the opportunity to ride a steam train!
The Wye Hills
Hiking in nature alternating between undergrowth and meadows on hilly slopes in the middle of pastures and crops.
Stour Valley Rural
A rural route (avoiding habitation) around the Stour Valley. Starting through King's Wood and a little of the North Downs Way heading north, crossing the valley and picking up some of the Stour Valley Walk heading south before crossing the river again and heading back into the woods.
