Seaford Head Nature Reserve, Sussex Wildlife Trust — Attraction in Lewes

My wife suggested this place rather than the cliffs directly. I had little idea what to expect. We all walked down and the sight was a wonder to behold. The sun was warm enough and wind was cool enough, perfect! We walked down to the pebble beach, played in the stream as it merged with the sea and collected rocks. Since we collect a lot of rocks in all our UK journey and trash our home, wife made us keep only 1 each. I kept what was revealed to be ' Hags stone'. Parking is ample and free. There is no food or water stalls here, so bring your own. The trail is easy enough to push and climb with a stroller.

We had a better time here than at the commercial Brighton beach.

Theres a small café now but I recommend you check opening hours or my preference take a picnic. Flask of hot soup and crusty bread ideal for a...

There are plenty of picnic benches, and a leaflet dispenser at the barn if you're looking for some guided walks. Pleasantly quiet on a March evening, but looks like it can get very busy in peak...
