Directions to Waterhall Local Nature Reserve: By car: To find us, putting Waterhall Golf Course into a sat nav usually seems to work quite well. Or post code: BN1 8AX. We’re just off Saddlescombe Road to the north of Hove. From the A27 exit at Hove, take the Saddlescombe Road north towards Devil’s Dyke. After a short distance take the right hand fork and we’re first on the right at the brow of the Hill (Waterhall Local Nature Reserve). We’ll open the barrier for you – there is a free car park for those attending events/activities. By bus: Weekends and daily during summer months (mid-Jun to beginning Sep) No. 77 to Dyke Approach Any time: No. 27 to Green Ridge. Get off at the windmill on Green Ridge, then follow the walking instructions below. Walking or by bike (safe route, avoiding the busy roundabouts where Dyke Road meets the A27): Find you way to Dyke Road. Head north (up hill) to the Hilltop Café (just before the big roundabout at the A27). Cut across the field (called Green Ridge) behind the café to the windmill. Go through the gate in the hedge on the left just before you reach the windmill. Cross the road (Mill Road) and take the path opposite. Go down the hill (it is steep so you may want to push your bike), over the footbridge which crosses the A27 and continue down the path to the track at the bottom of the hill. Turn left, go past the rugby club (which is on your right), through the gate &amp; up the bridleway to Waterhall clubhouse (You’ll need to push your bike up the bridleway – or alternatively lock it up at the rugby club and pick it up on the way home).
