A cloudy and grey day until about 4pm and then lovely and sunny, which was a little late for todays excursion as we headed west to Seaford. Over the South Downs there was a low mist swirling around as we drove down into Seaford and found free seafront parking at the eastern end of the beach.

We started our walk at the Seaford Head viewing jetty with Seaford Head dipping in and out of the swirling mist….

We didn’t linger as the tide is quite high and the waves were occasionally breaking over the top – Tilly’s worst nightmare crashing waves and instead clambered up to get a closer look…

Quite other worldly and offering a fair panoramic view down on Seaford and it’s beach….

Back on sea level we enjoyed the couple of miles walk along the promenade of Seaford Beach….

Passing the most westerly Martello Tower (small defensive Forts built along the east coast in the early 1800’s as protection from invasion by Napoleon) which now houses a museum….

The promenade continues beyond Seaford to Newhaven and it’s continuation of the deserted pebble beach….

Here we stopped for a while to watch a ferry coming in to Port dwarfing the small town….

Heading back the way we came and returning to site to enjoy the glorious late afternoon sunshine.
