The Kipling Roedean and Rottingdean Circular Verified listing

A circular walk along the south coast near Brighton, taking in the beautiful undercliff path, the pretty village of Rottingdean, and then climbing up to Beacon Hill for the return leg across the Downs. The walkers will be rewarded with breathtaking views from the sea and across the rolling hills. Rottingdean is most famous for its literary connections with the author Rudyard Kipling who lived there and was inspired by the South Downs for some of his poetry. The walk follows the level, surfaced undercliff path for the first half, making for easy walking. However, do NOT attempt this walk in bad weather as the undercliff path can be dangerous with waves and beach debris at these times. The second half includes several climbs/descents across the hills of the South Downs, and the unmade paths here can be very muddy and slippery in winter and after rain. Will necessary negotiate several gates and three stiles (all of the stiles have open fence surrounds which should be suitable for most dogs to pass through). Several of the fields on the return stretch may be holding cattle so take particular care with dogs. There are public toilets halfway along the undercliff path.
