Downs and Weald Cycle Route

This cycle route runs south from Greenwich out of London through Lewisham to Crawley.

The route then makes its way via East Grinstead and Eridge to Heathfield and then finally leads down towards The Waterfront at Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne. This route is best suited to off-road bikes with sections going through woodland, off tarmac and sections that involve going over a railway footbridge and through kissing gates. This is a tough, but enjoyable cycle for those up for a challenge! You don’t have to do the whole route, there are shorter links that will allow you to stay more locally around Eastbourne and its surrounding areas which makes The Waterfront the perfect place to start and/or finish your bike ride!
