Route Description for Slater Walk

The Slater Walk is a beautiful stroll along the English countryside that has history. An artist known as Eric Slater drew his inspiration from this area, which led to his creation of exhibitions as well as a book about his life. The Slater Walk begins at the Seaford car park and follows along a well-worn path. Wandering along the path that borders the sparkling sea, you can look down and see the white-chalk cliffs that hang below.
