Six Signed Trails from the Bunkhouse Door
Route Card Rows
RT-114COAST
EASY
The Lighthouse Lagoon Loop
A flat two-hour wander that stays close to the water so the group can watch waders feed before the tide turns. We set out along the shingle spit, cross the low lagoon channel at the stepping line, and come back on the sheltered path under the grass bank. Good for first walks, calm days and families with younger legs. History of the old lifeboat house sits at the midway picnic point.

MODERATE
The Cliffs, Lancing to Shoreham Fort
A four-mile cliff-top stretch with real ups and downs below the airport, where the footpath holds a grand view of the whole bay. We keep a tight line on the seaward edge, point out the old pier stumps, and end beneath the Napoleonic fort walls. This route is the one local runners train on, but we walk it at a gardener pace with stops for the view each mile.

RT-332DOWNS
FULL DAY
The Downs Divider
Six hours that leave the coast entirely and take the chalk ridge north, climbing by the old drove road to a bowl of sheep pasture. We round the rim, duck under a beech hanger for lunch, then descend the long southern slope into the village with its tea rooms. Boots dry on the way home and the day finishes level with the sea again.

EASY
The Shingle Return
A family ramble out at first walking light so the shingle is quiet and the sea has the sky to itself. We take the shore route toward the windmill, paddle at the safe shallow corner on mild low tides, and build sand castles nowhere near the water line. Boardwalk gaps are mapped and the turnaround sits at an ice-cream kiosk that opens with the sun.

MODERATE
The Estuary Bends
A mid-distance route that follows the estuary bend through reedbeds, where herons stand at the margins and the path quiets under an old rail bridge. We cross at the footbridge, loop the grazing marsh on a firm track, and join the coast road for the final mile. A steady kit-check route that rewards patient eyes and binoculars (which live in the day pack).

RT-614BEACON
FULL DAY
The Beacon Long Run
The longest route on the board, a ten-mile figure of eight that links the cliff route with the downland spine and finishes where it began at the bunkhouse bench. Water points are marked, the halfway break is a real lunch, and the reward for the last stiff climb is a full westward view across the whole county. Groups that take it complete a season of walks in one day.

7Coast Routes
Seven marked routes leave this bunkhouse door, never more than a small group at a time.
We run small groups and unhurried days. You walk at a pace that lets the tide and the birds set the schedule, and you come back dry, fed and glad of the day.
