Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Old Coach Road This route from Alfriston to Lewes following the foot of the Downs dates back to medieval times at least. It was improved in 1752 in order to carry coaches from Lewes to Alfriston and on to the newly developing resort of Eastbourne. In 1792 the main route was changed from Bo Peep Gate to follow Bo Peep Lane then on towards what is now Polegate before heading south to Eastbourne. The road was superseded by a newer, straighter route constructed with the approval of John MacAdam in 1819. This road is currently the A27. The track was upgraded in 2004/05 and is now a restricted byway. Taken from the footpath that heads up the Downs to the South Downs Way. |
