Sunken lane above Alciston This is only recorded on the Explorer map as a public footpath crossing what appears to be a large field. In fact it is an old cartway which, with the erosive power of rainwater, has become a deep sunken lane, and is clearly still used by horse-riders.

Horse and carriage on the old coach road The old coach road from Firle to Alfriston provides an all-weather route for horse-riders, cyclists and walkers. It is classed as a byway - and is enjoying an upgrade.
