A river walk is one of my favourite things to do and this walk is very easy with plenty to see.The distance there and back is about 3 miles and you can make it as easy or hard as you like. From the visitor centre on the map above, head towards the beach. If you like great views, looking at birds ,butterflies and wild flowers, it’s a joy.

There is a charge of £4 a day for parking and when fully open there is a visitor centre and toilet facilities.The car park is quite small so I would imagine it gets busy at weekends.

The River Cuckmere meanders through the park; if you take your binoculars you get a great view of the litle egrets that feed there. We visited on a very dull and drizzly day which brightened up later; the more light the better the pictures.
