Walking and Sightsseing
A relatively new nature reserve. Great for walking, cycling and scooting along a path between Newhaven and leading onto Seaford, a few yards from the beach. Along the well defined paths you will find natural marshland and wet grassland, coastal scrub and woodland. Situated between Newhaven and Seaford it backs onto an area of beach called Tidemills. The reserve itself has a circular walk as well as many paths leading to and from the reserve area in the direction of Seaford and Newhaven.
To get to the reserve follow the A259 from Newhaven to Seaford, there is a turning on the right at grid ref.TQ464005. This leads to a purpose built car park, from which there are paths leading into the reserve and up across the railway line towards the beach. There is also an information board that shows you the whole reserve and the routes around and through it.
