Most of us have walked at least a section of the South Downs Way, or
followed a rural a bit of the South Downs or followed one of the many
rural walks that Sussex can boast, but what about the county's fourth
wall-the sea? If you want to feel the salt on your cheek, take in a bit
of bird-watching, some beach-combing, a pinch of history, a sprinkling
of local gossip and just enough geology and geography not to numb your
brain, then come with local expert David Arscott on a walk along the
Sussex coast.Starting from the sands at Camber and sticking as close to
the water's edge as possible, the route shows how environmental changes,
human interference, events, disasters and the power of the sea have
affected the county's coastline, leaving harbours stranded high and dry
and villages drowned off shore. You don't have to do it all in one go
(it's a long walk!) as it's broken up into easy sections, but whichever
part you tackle, A Tour along the Sussex Coast makes an ideal hand-held
companion to take along with you.
