River Cuckmere - Alfriston Trip

River Cuckmere - Alfriston Trip

We start our trip at Cuckmere Haven, an area of true beauty with flower rich chalk grassland and over-wintering wildfowl and colourful wild flowers, making our way along the river Cuckmere inland to Alfriston. As the river meanders along Cuckmere valley and into Litlington we'll pass the giant white chalk horse that dominates the view of the left side of the valley. Once we get to Alfriston there's time for a quick snack before heading back to Cuckmere with the outgoing tide.

Who it's for?

With this trip being based on the calm Sussex inland waterways it is suitable for everyone, although it's not recommended for junior paddlers. You need no previous experience, just a healthy sense of adventure! If you like the idea of a peaceful paddle along the picturesque Sussex inland waterways then this is for you.

What you'll need:

We'll supply all the equipment you require (except personal clothing). Bring along a wet suit or warm layers to paddle in, fleece material and wool are best. A bottle of drink and a snack for the half way point. Sun cream if it's a hot day.
