WHAT IS THE LONDON TO BRIGHTON WALK?

A Walking Post original, this long distance trail stretches 70 miles from Carshalton all the way to Brighton. On the way it climbs over the North Downs, passing lavender fields, vineyards & woodland, down to rural Sussex, before climbing up the chalky South Downs to descend to the sea.

ROUTE DETAILS

The route starts on a railway path towards Clayton, then it’s then a very steep climb up the South Downs and along open chalky paths towards Brighton. The route descends rapidly to suburban Moulsecoomb. Then it’s steeply up again and over Brighton racecourse, descending via steps to Kemptown and the sea!

Organized by

Walking Post

Welcome to the Walking Post! Our website offers walking route ideas around London and the South East with maps and written directions. We also run open guided group walks in Surrey, Kent, London and further afield. We love being able to take the train out of London and into the countryside. There are so many beautiful places less than an hour by train away from the city and so many footpaths to discover. Most routes start and finish at train stations but you can also head out in the car or even in some cases, walk out of the city!
