🌊 Isle of Wight Day Trip & Scenic Coastal walk(Ladies only)

Newhaven to Brighton a stunning coastal hike

Many have asked why I never organised a hike around Brighton and I never really knew so here we go! We are hiking in Brighton! After the success of this hike in the summer last year, I have decided to do it again for those who have not been able to. Although most people go for the Seven Sisters or or the white cliffs of Dover, they don't always think about other places with stunning cliff walks and what a mistake! This place is stunning and you will enjoy it without the large crowds of the more popular places. We will walk the cliff top and at the bottom of it, probably stalked by a few seals. The first time I took hikers there, they weren't expecting such beauty. This is a hike I highly recommend for old and new Jonions so come and join me on this adventure. We will start at Newhaven and walk along the Coast all the way to Southern Britain's most popular beach town, good old Brighton. Yaaaaayyyyy This trip will be simply and plainly a day by the sea for us to enjoy the fresh air and have a nice time with some of the world's most awesome people, my Jonions! Let's hike before we head for food, and drinks, for those who wish and a walk around Brighton if you fancy. This hike is great for beginners or crazy hikers alike, it won't exhaust you too much but there are a few hills.
