All is not lost for the visitor though. You are here to dally, to linger and enjoy, so use the major roads to get into the area of interest then take the smaller, quieter roads. If you imagine the major roads as forming a grid then the places to visit are in the areas inside the grid. The less hectic places. The less 'developed' places.
Coaches go from London and all over the county.
Just for the record, and don't tell anybody we told you, two very pleasant roads also travel from east to west. The A259 is the real coast road for much of its length. The second is a little bit trickier in that it is not so much a road but a collection of roads that head in the same general direction. Starting just north of Lewes , the B2116 picks its way delicately along under the shadow of the South Downs. During your travels on this site many of the places we visit are on or near this route.
