About Friston Forest

Friston Forest offers an infinite number of way marked routes for visitors to explore the beech woods. It's undulating terrain makes it popular with walkers and mountain bikers. Both are served with waymarked trails of varying lengths. Two car parks service the forest, giving visitors a choice of facilities, views and landscapes.
Quiet valleys within the forest offer sheltered habitats for many species of wildlife. Glimpses of rare butterflies like the fritillaries and elusive deer, can reward patient observers.

How to get there:

Eastbourne is the nearest town or village.

Friston Forest is located behind Seven Sisters Country Park off the A259 road between Seafod and East Dean. Two car parks can be found off minor roads travelling north from the main Seven Sisters Car park and on the eastern boundary at East Dean.
