Day 6: Steyning to Falmer
There was no need to use the car, and no need to find a bed & breakfast for this day. Brighton & Hove Buses run excellent services in the area; there are stops at Steyning, Devil's Dyke, Ditchling Beacon and Falmer. The Number 2 took us to Steyning, there's a stop at Dacre Gardens where the South Downs Way crosses the A283. Then, at the other end of the day, there is a stop (Housedean Farm) where the Way crosses the A27, the Number 29 took us back to Brighton.
There are also a few pubs on the route; Devil's Dyke, and The Plough at Pyecombe.
We had 2 goes at this day's walk; the weather was so grim the first time we felt it deserved another go. We were not disappointed, it is one of the most enjoyable stretches of the way, with spectacular views all the time.
