At Cuckmere Haven, just a few miles from Eastbourne, it is possible to hire bikes and take various designated routes either into the forest or follow the Cuckmere River as it meanders down to the sea.

Transportation: Cheating a bit, I have done this walk at the same time as Saxon Shore Way, as the shorter Royal Military Canal Path section and Saxon Shore Way overlap here.
