MAPS AND PATHS

For more detailed route planning, look at the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps 122 and 123 orthe 1:50,000 Landranger mapsOL11 and OL25 for the area.

n You can cycle on any roadin East Sussex, but the minorroads (shown in yellow on OS maps) tend to have less traffic.

Local cycling information

n Bridleways are generallyunsurfaced routes open to cyclists and horse riders.They are usually marked withblue arrow waymark posts.

n Footpaths (paths shown onthe map with short dashes)are open to walkers only. Cycling on footpaths is not allowed without the owner'spermission and there may becycle-unfriendly obstacleslike stiles. Footpaths usuallyhave yellow arrow waymark-ers. The Goldeneye cyclingmap for Sussex and SouthSurrey highlights circular andfamily-friendly routes and facilities for cyclists.

There are also maps of theSustrans National Cycle Network (NCN) routes on www.sustrans.org.uk or0845 113 0065. In Sussex NCNRoute 2 runs along the coastfrom Worthing to Rye andNCN Route 21 runs fromCrawley to Eastbourne, takingin the traffic-free CuckooTrail, Forest Way and WorthWay. Route 21 forms part ofthe Avenue Verte route fromLondon to Paris. www.avenuevertelondonparis.co.uk

CYCLING OUT OF TOWN

Lewes is surrounded by awonderful network of countrylanes and off-road routes,leading to dozens of interest-ing places to visit, eat anddrink.

n Take extra care for the firstcouple of miles out of Leweswhere you may have to rideon main roads. Avoid theworst of the traffic by settingoff early at weekends, or afterthe morning rush midweek.

n One way of avoiding cycling out of Lewes is to takethe train to a country stationsuch as Southease, Berwickor Glynde.

n Carry one or two innertubes in the right size for yourtyres, and learn how tochange them – it’s much easier than repairing a puncture out on the road.You’ll also need a couple ofspanners and tyre levers anda bicycle pump.

OFF-ROAD CYCLING

Lewes is in the middle ofsome of the best off-road cycling country in England,with a superb network of bridleways on and around theSouth Downs. Some are better than others for cycling.

This map highlights some off-road routes where the surface is generally passablefor cyclists, divided into easier paths which can be cycled all year round andmore challenging ones whichmay be muddy or bumpy.

The Downs can be tough-going though: you may like toplan your route by pushing upshort steep sections, then riding down long, glorious,gradual descents.

T H E E N G L I S H C H A N N E L

Route 1 East Chiltington and Ditchling (16km/10 miles each way), partly onunmade tracks, undulating; return same way or via very steepclimb up to South Downs Way which leads back towards Lewes),to charming old village of Ditchling with its Museum of Art +Craft, tea rooms and pubs, and section along route of Romanroad between East Chiltington and Streat; also pub at East Chiltington. Leave Lewes by Route 2 to Offham Church, and continue/joinA275, then L at Cooksbridge (shortly before level crossing) intominor road, first R, under railway then L. L at junction, R into EastChiltington, past Jolly Sportsman pub, R before church on unmade track. In 0.6 mile/1km cross road, skirt end of PlumptonRace Course. L on Streat Lane (Streat Place, a fine Elizabethancountry house, is on R). For Ditchling immediately R on farmtrack, then L at T-junction and soon R at Hayleigh Farm; carry onfarm road to Ditchling; return same way or by busier B2116. ForSouth Downs Way, turn left at Streat; at B2116, turn L and verysoon R on farm road, steeply up (most people will need to dismount); at top, L on South Downs Way, which you leave as itheads R, instead going on via Black Cap and descend to Lewes.

Optionaldetour loop R to Hamsey via Ivors Lane; at next junction L (Whitfeld Lane) is continuation (a short way ahead is medievalHamsey church), then R at T-junction. Follow signs to Barcombe,R in village centre at mini roundabout. Just after dropping downsmall hill, old station on R; L by a gate is an offroad track (formerrailway) giving optional extension to Anchor Inn.

At edge of Ringmer nearpylons cycle path bends R and ends; cross road and go ahead(Gote Lane). Avoid residential roads on L; R at junction (RusheyGreen), L at next junction (R is useful link to Glynde and Route 3).R on B2124, first L (Half Mile Drove), R on B2192 and first L (Harvey’s Lane; SP Bentley Wildfowl), next L (Green Lane), keepL at next junction (Norlington Lane; by graves supposedly of soldiers killed in duel on R).

MORE CYCLE RIDES

National Cycle Route 2 Brighton and Berwick (and beyond),along roads and cycle path, with some busier roads aroundNewhaven. Runs below the cliffs between Brighton and Saltdean signposted around back roads in Peacehaven, cross-ing the A259 and dropping into Newhaven; section along mainroad (or push along pavement) past a retail park and Sains-bury’s, then on parallel cycle path to Bishopstone, with optionaldiversion into Ouse Valley Nature Reserve; continues alongCuckmere Valley past Alfriston and Berwick station. South Downs Way The long-distance bridlepath from Winchester to Eastbourne is a magnificent offroad cycle route,with several access points around Lewes, including Southease,Kingston, Firle and Alfriston. Most ascents are demanding but the going on the top is generally much easier.Good circuits include South Downs Way west from Lewes toDitchling Beacon, then south to Stanmer and east along cyclepath beside A23 to Lewes; and Lewes to Kingston via AshcombeWindmill to South Downs Way, then turn L on it, drop to Rodmelland return either along road or along Egrets Way.Egrets Way Lewes to Newhaven, along the River Ouse, withsome bumpy and uneven sections along the river path and somesmoother sections along a track. Joins the road north of Pid-dinghoe into Newhaven. It is tempting to cycle from Piddinghoe church along the river footpath to Newhaven butthere is no official right of way for cyclists.

Cuckmere Haven and Friston Forest A very easy short concrete path runs from the car park by the A259 at Exceat(in the SE corner of this map) to the sea at Cuckmere Haven.More challenging is the network of hilly forest tracks throughFriston Forest.Kingston See town map for this short, level surfaced routesouth from Lewes to Kingston; can extend to South DownsWay.Lewes to Falmer alongside A27 Not a pretty ride, but usefulfor getting to the universities at Falmer, and to Brighton.North of Barcombe Excellent and very scenic cycling on undulating back roads extend towards Chailey and the Ashdown Forest in the High Weald.East from Glynde Head for the area around Ripe and the historic church of Arlington for some gentle cycling aroundquiet lanes. Further east is the traffic-free Cuckoo Trail,mostly on an old railway track (Heathfield to Polegate; extension to Eastbourne).For a host of ideas on where to cycle around Lewes, including rides to Berwick and Newhaven, see www.travelloglewes.co.uk

A NEW CYCLE BRIDGE FOR LEWES?The trackbed of the defunct Lewes-Uckfield railway still ex-ists and would make a fantastic link into the countrysidenorth of town. All that is needed is a new bridge over theOuse near Hamsey church. Cycle Lewes is campaigning forthe completion of this missing link.

Best routes outof LewesNorthwards The routethrough Landport, along Land-port Road leads into an un-made byway into the woods(feasible for all types of bikesin drier periods). This risesslightly to join the minor roadjust below Offham church.Turn right here onto a systemof undulating lanes linkingBarcombe, Newick and be-yond. At Barcombe Mills, theshort track marked in greenfollows an old railway line to the Anchor Inn,by the River Ouse.

Eastwards Leave Lewes bySouth Street (a dead end formotorised traffic). Past theSnowdrop pub, you continueon the signed Cycle Route 90,along the river, through CliffeIndustrial Estate and ontoSoutherham Lane. The routecontinues as a cycle pathalongside the A27. At the nextjunction either continue alongthe easily managed cyclepath or branch left intoRanscombe Lane, a quietroad that rises quite steeplyand gives views across thevalley before dropping intothe estate village of Glynde,which has toilets and a playground; from here youcan rejoin the A27 cycle path.Routes northeast throughRipe and Laughton are easyon-road options; mountainbikers may like to cross theA27 into Firle village and ei-

ther try the Old Coach Roadalong the foot of the downsor climb up onto the SouthDowns Way.

Southwards The road routesalong the Ouse valley carryquite a lot of traffic, butmountain bikers can opt toride up to the South Downsby taking Southover HighStreet westwards and continuing along Juggs Road,which crosses a bridge highabove the A27 and becomesa bridleway. Cross over thenext road near Kingston, andcontinue past a line of houses, then steeply up ei-ther of two chalk tracks as-cending the escarpment.Turn left at the top for someglorious high-level riding.

Westwards The A27 has auseful cycle path along itsnorthern side, starting on theright as you leave town onthe Brighton Road. This takesyou beyond the universitiesat Falmer to the outskirts ofBrighton. For mountain bikers, the South Downs Wayand an extensive network ofother bridleways can bejoined either by going up Spi-tal Road (behind LewesPrison) and following thesignposts, or a little furthernorth off the A275 (NevillRoad) by going through thegate to the right of theprivate road opposite HillRoad and following the bridleway up, past the houses and stables.
