Peacehaven to Seaford Fun Walk

Join me for a relaxed coastal adventure from Peacehaven to Seaford, taking in cliff‑top drama, maritime history, sea air, and a well‑earned pub at the end!

Peacehaven is just (6 miles) east of Brighton city centre.

⭐ What to Expect

• Start at Peacehaven’s Meridian Monument
• Stroll the cliff tops with sweeping ocean views
• Drop down into Newhaven, passing the fort and harbour
• Walk along shoreline into Seaford

💧 Water Break at Newhaven Fort

A short hydration pause at the Fort — a perfect opportunity to enjoy the coastal backdrop before continuing.

🚢 Ferry Sightings: Newhaven → Dieppe

As you pass Newhaven Harbour, you might spot the DFDS/Transmanche ferries operating on the historic             Newhaven–Dieppe route - the UK’s longest continuous ferry link to France, today carrying around 410,000 passengers a year, most of them tourists.

The ferries you’re likely to see are the Seven Sisters or Côte d’Albâtre, modern vessels branded under the Transmanche service and run by DFDS. This crossing has a remarkably long story, stretching back over 200 years.
