Summary Travel far and wide, along the coast and through the valleys on this big, but easy to navigate and fast paced route.
1 Go left out of the car park, to lights/crossroads left on High Street, keeping right on slipway to seafront. Go right on concrete track below the cliffs, all the way to the start of the marina and bear right, uphill, to the A259. Go right beside, then left over this road to join the B2066.
2 Turn right at the golf club, joining the bridleway, uphill, keeping right at the top, then downhill and sharp left at T-junction before Ovingdean. Continue uphill, keeping left at a fork, past the golf then race courses to a road beyond the car park. Go left on road then right on byway (Drove Road) when road bears left.
3 Follow this track ahead and right at a fork, between the houses and fields, over the B2123 and right at the next fork. Bear left at a fork 100m before the radar mast. Follow this downhill to a crosstracks at the bottom by some trees. Turn left.
4 Bear right by old barns on faint bridleway, becoming uphill and more obvious, then better track by farm buildings and bearing right over cattle grid. Join the South Downs Way (SDW), following the signposts until the bottom of a steep grassy field, after a lone (gated) house, at farm track T-junction.
5 Head right, leaving the SDW, through farm, following the track left through gate then bearing right uphill, to a road. Go right on the road, through Telscombe, uphill, over cattle grid at the top and keep ahead, and stay ahead off-road as road bears left.
6 Continue downhill, to and over the A259, then right for 1km. Cross the roundabout before turning left. Keep left to head to the seafront. Turn right along the seafront, back to Rottingdean and turn right by the White Horse Hotel. Turn right at the crossroads/lights to head uphill to the car park. |

| Starts in hove, goes north to the south downs, west and then down to Shoreham, following the coast back to Hove.
There is one section that is only really suitable for mountain bikes, and will probably require most to dismount anyway. I did it on my tourer but I think next time I'll try a slightly different route. |
