You arrive with a map on the dash and sea-salt air on the windows as the road peels along the Sussex coastline — chalk cliffs rise white against blue, fishing boats rock in small harbours, and market towns keep time with bell towers and café service.
This online self-guided plan lays out a 153-mile route from Rye through Hastings, the Seven Sisters, Brighton and down to Chichester, breaking the coast into 20 stop-off points and sample itineraries for anything from three days to two weeks. Geologically the route is led by chalk — the fractured escarpments of the South Downs and the iconic Seven Sisters reveal layers of Cretaceous seabed, while shingle flats like Dungeness create rare habitats. Historically the coast is a patchwork: Roman Chichester, the 1066 battlefield at Battle, medieval Rye and a fishing culture still visible in Selsey and Hastings.
Local culture shifts fast — Brighton’s lively lanes and pier contrast with the quiet of Pagham Harbour and the sheep-grazed downs above Lewes. The guide focuses on practical access: parking notes, Google Maps pins for each section, and suggested pacing that balances short coastal walks with driving stretches.
Plan for tides and exposed cliffs, allow time for short hikes at Birling Gap or a tide-check before rockpooling, and pick accommodation in a central hub like Brighton or Chichester if you want fewer hotel moves. The guide is digital-only with a 12-month licence, so download no more than your route maps and carry a portable charger. Drive steadily, respect footpaths and livestock, and use the itinerary to shape a coastal trip that’s as active or relaxed as you choose.
The plan is accessed via website; you should pre-load routes and screenshots or use offline map options—there’s no native app to download.
The purchased guide is not editable, but each route includes pre-populated Google Maps pins you can duplicate into your own map to tailor stops.
