Places to go

 

Not sure where to go with your bike? The roads are quite busy in the Lewes area but there are alternatives to riding on the roads.

 

Deers Leap

 

Why not visit our friends at Deers Leap? They have 240 acres of land suitable for cyclists of all abilities as well as a number of other activities including: climbing, canoeing, highwire and abseiling.They also cater for groups so the venue might be a great place to take a band of energetic teenagers for a birthday treat for example.

 

Need a new bike?

 

For expert assistance when choosing a new bike, their shop could be the answer: a wide range of quality machines is available for you to choose from. But if you're not sure that mountain biking is for you, why not hire a bike for a couple of hours, half a day or even a whole day?

 

The Cuckoo Trail

 

The trail, which was constructed in the 90's by the local councils in association with SUSTRANS, is an ideal pleasure route for cyclists of all ages. The route extends from Heathfield in the north to Polegate in the south (11 miles/16km) with an extension on to Hampden Park near Eastbourne.

Newhaven to Seaford

 

For a gentle, traffic-free route between railway stations, why not try the SUSTRANS cycle way between Newhaven and Seaford which forms part of the Seven Sisters circular? This is a fairly recent part of the National Cycle Route scheme which follows the coast passing close to the former settlement of Tidemills.
