WHO WE ARE
A welcoming club for every walker
We are a friendly group of walkers who love to ramble in our beautiful East Sussex countryside. A sociable and informal group, we welcome companions of all ages.
There are roughly twelve walks per month. Every walk is under the supervision of an experienced leader and is between 3 and 12 miles in length and of varying difficulty.
Our Club is proudly affiliated to Ramblers UK and they offer guidance and support to club members. For more information see www.ramblers.org.uk
EXPLORE
Our walks
Our walks may start from Seaford or involve a short bus, car or train journey to the start. They vary in length, terrain and difficulty, and take in our spectacular coastline, beautiful downland views and historic local villages.
If you're unsure whether a walk is right for you, our walks co-ordinator Sue Belchamber will be happy to advise on the terrain and fitness level involved.
You're also welcome to join us for a free taster walk before becoming a member – we'll help match you to a walk that suits your ability. For insurance purposes, anyone on a taster walk will be covered as a temporary member for the duration of that walk.
Contact Sue Belchamber, Walks Co-ordinator, on 01323 873579 for further information.

OUR STORY
Founded 1981
Seaford Rambling Club began with six passionate walkers – Harry Dolin, Patrick Osborn, George Smith, Bill Defrice and Barbara Peake – who shared a vision of exploring the Sussex countryside together.
Their first ramble led from Falmer Station to Glynde. Their second walked the coast from Eastbourne to Seaford itself. The tradition they started continues to grow today.
Although early records are thought to be lost, historical records can be found at The Keep archive and historical centre near Brighton.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Sample walks
Walks vary by season and available daylight, and can be morning only or a full day. Most walks need to be booked in advance, when the walk leader will confirm further details.
All walks meet at a location and time specified by the walk leader.
