Undercliff
The Undercliff can be a walk or a hike. It depends on how far you want to take it. It is paved and flat and runs along the beautiful sea cliffs of Brighton, England.
Dogs and bicycles are allowed on the walk. It begins at the Marina behind the Asda grocery store, It starts out along the side of residences and a repair boatyard and then opens up into a beautiful scenic view of the ocean and gorgeous cliffs.
It is 5km (a little over 3 miles) long. at about 1.5 miles there is a beach and a nice snack area. It becomes more of a hike when you want to explore more of the beach or if you want to ascend up to the paths above the walk.
You can make it a round trip and walk back to the marina or you can climb the stairs (any set you see going up) and return by the path above the walk where you get an amazing view of the ocean. You can walk all the way back or catch a bus or an Uber if you need to.
