A taster break along the most southerly stretch of the trail from Kingston-near-Lewes to Eastbourne.
From £315 per person
Arguably one of the most dramatic sections of the entire trail, our Eastern Section Short Break travels through quiet valleys and across breezy open spaces, surrounded by big views.
The trail straddles the ridge of the escarpment to the village of Alfriston, famed for its ancient buildings, and winds through Friston Forest. Dramatic coastal views crown the route at Birling Gap, Seven Sisters Cliffs, and Beachy Head.
Exploring the many hamlets and villages along the route, including Iford, Southease, Firle and Westdean.
Watching daring paragliders flying from Bostal Hill during the summer.
Celebrating the completion of the trail in the lively seaside town of Eastbourne, with plenty of fantastic scenery to enjoy.
