This trail is an accessible route along the West Quay, you can then choose to walk through to the beach and/or visit Newhaven Fort and Nature Reserve.
The maps are available to be downloaded. You can also explore the accompanying research for each map, which will provide lots of additional information to support the walks, researched by our team of volunteers.
The rich history of Newhaven was researched as part of Sussex Community Development Association’s Newhaven Heritage Walking Routes.
Developed by local historian Dr Jenny Flood, and a team of local community members, three trails explore the fascinating stories and landmarks that have shaped the vibrant history of Newhaven.
The trail maps were illustrated by local illustrator and photographer Alex Lake, and are designed to be accessible to walkers of all ages and abilities, with options for self-guided exploration or groups walks (see our Instagram page @newhavenheritage). Whether you’re a long-time resident or first time visitor, our three heritage walking routes promise an enjoyable journey through local history.
