King Charles Coast Path - Eastbourne to Newhaven (★★★★★)

Image
Today we are doing the stretch of south coast that I came down here to do - with this being the third of three days spent along the coast  - and having walked from Hastings to Eastbourne on the previous day. What makes today special is that we will meet up with the chalk cliffs off the South Downs - and for the stretch from Eastbourne to Cuckmere Haven we will be doubling up on both the King Charles Coast Path and the South Downs Way .

King Charles Coast Path - Hastings to Eastbourne (★★★☆☆)

Image
Today I am continuing a walk along the south coast of England , having walked between Rye and Hastings on the previous day - and today the plan is to walk from Hastings on to Eastbourne. This will take us across the fairly flat stretch of coastline that runs between these two seaside towns - and through Bexhill-on-Sea and Pevensey Bay along the way.

Royal Military Canal - Rye to Hastings (★★★☆☆)

Image
Today I am back making my way along the south coast - but initially following the Royal Military Canal rather than the England Coast Path . This will take us along the old route of the coastline until we reach Cliff End - and there we will revert to the England Coast Path , which will then take us to Hastings.

Pennine Way - Alston to Haltwhistle (★★★★☆)

Image
Today I am heading back out to do another section of the Pennine Way - and today the plan is to walk from Alston to Haltwhistle, heading along the South Tyne valley. My plan had originally been to walk this as part of a two-day walk - which would have started in Appleby-in-Westmorland and finished in Haltwhistle - but of late I have been favoring more frequent, but shorter, stretches of walking - and so today I am breaking this one up.

Liverpool & Leeds Canal - Aintree to Appley Bridge (★★★☆☆)

Image
Today is the second of two days spend walking the Liverpool & Leeds Canal , having walked from Albert Dock to Aintree on the previous day. The walk today will finish off the stretch through Liverpool (by this point heading through Aintree) - and then through the suburb of Maghull - before the canal will be a mostly urban affair, all the way round to Appley Bridge.

Liverpool & Leeds Canal - Liverpool to Aintree (★★★☆☆)

Image
Today the plan is to head out and over two days walk the final missing stretch of the Liverpool & Leeds Canal - and today the plan is to walk from Albert Dock to Aintree. This is unlikely to be the most exciting stretch of this canal - with this being the most urban stretch of the canal - but the thing about canal walking is that you go where the canal goes, and in some ways that is part of it's appeal.

Tabular Hills Walk - Lockton to Pickering (★★★☆☆)

Image
Today is the second day in a row spent walking the Tabular Hills Walk , having spent the previous day walking from Helmsley to Pickering .  After a longer previous day, the plan is for a shorter day today - walking from Levisham back to Pickering, and then heading home via the regular bus service that runs from Pickering to York.
