Starting from its western end, where it joins Sessingham Lane, this overgrown BOAT is blocked halfway along its length by the shoddy and mistaken provision of a footbridge over the River Cuckmere. As such, motorised vehicles can no longer use this byway. Avoid.

An ancient (probably Anglo-Saxon) moat lies just to the north of the footbridge, on the eastern side of the River Cuckmere. For those interested in fishing, or simply in a nice walk in beautiful countryside, Arlington Reservoir will not disappoint.

This is why you won't get through!
