Comment venir

En train

The National Park Authority says regular trains from London Waterloo and London Victoria reach the park in 60 to 90 minutes. Lewes is on the lines to London Victoria, Brighton and Eastbourne; Southease, Berwick, Seaford and Eastbourne are useful for the eastern Downs. Midhurst has no station: Stagecoach buses link it with Chichester and Haslemere. 1

En bus

The South Downs Discovery ticket gives a day's unlimited travel on most bus operators in East and West Sussex, Brighton & Hove and East Hampshire: £10 for an adult, £8 for a child and £20 for a family of up to five. Brighton & Hove's Breeze buses run to Devil's Dyke, Stanmer Park and Ditchling Beacon, and its Coaster buses link Brighton and Eastbourne along the coast. Stagecoach runs Midhurst to Chichester (60) and Midhurst to Worthing via Petworth (1). 2

Une fois sur place

Walk the South Downs Way

The National Trail runs the length of the park. In the east it passes the Long Man of Wilmington, Alfriston and the Seven Sisters between Exceat and Eastbourne.

Buses with a Discovery ticket

One day ticket covers most local bus operators, so you can walk one way and ride back. Plan the connections with Traveline.

Take care on the cliffs

The National Trust warns that the chalk cliffs are fragile and can collapse without warning: stay well away from both the edges and the bases.

Avec une voiture

En voiture

The National Park Authority warns that roads in the park become congested at busy times and encourages public transport. The A27 runs along the foot of the Downs past Lewes; the National Trust's Birling Gap car park, south of the A259 between Eastbourne and Seaford, is pay and display. 3
