However, a reservation is needed on the diesel multiple unit Stagecoach and AlphaLine regional trains to south Wales and other destinations in the west. It is an excellent cycle route for casual cycling. When you arrive at the South Days Way Bridge over the River Adur, you should cross the bridge and head for a short distance west. At the first T junction the route north takes you to the roundabout near Bramber Castle crossing the main road on the way. If you continue following the South Downs Way west you will arrive at the village of Botolphs .
Progress is impeded by a number of stiles and after a spell of wet weather can be very muddy.
The road ends up at the roundabout at the entrance to Bramber Castle. The return route is called Mauldlin Road and it starts with a small climb. In Lancing, a road to the south runs parallel to the main road. A local road map helps, and this will be printed on this web site when the equipment is good enough. There is a country path usable by mountain bikes running from just north of the Sussex Pad west towards Lancing Clump .
