A scenic cliff side walk that takes approximately 5 to 6 hours. Lots of uphill parts but the effort is well worth the view.
You can always skip the walk through Seaford town by taking the number 12 or X13 bus (£3.20 single) from Seaford station to Exceat. This should shave about 30 minutes off the walk giving you more time to enjoy the views and snap some scenic photos.
Half Way through the walk you'll come across Birling Gap where there are public toilets and a cafe restaurant for you to refuel. While you're here, take some time going down the steps to the pebbled beach. While it's nothing special, it is somewhat refreshing.
The walk is easy to follow and doesn't really require a map as it's simply following the cliff edges. There are a lot of up hill bits although relatively short. You'll find that the route is very much up and down, up and down etc.
