This byway is a dead end and would usually score a 0, but exceptional circumstances in this case mean that we won't evaluate it based purely on its greenlaning qualities. Running from the hamlet of Climping, through fields and all the way down to the sea, this well-maintained byway is probably the best kept secrets on this stretch of coast as it offers access the beach.

Vehicular access to the beach itself is (thankfully) blocked by concrete blocks and a bank at the end of the lane, and its pretty hard to turn around here, so good luck if you own a 110! Needless to say, don't try and access the beach with your vehicle, as it is illegal to do so here (although it's not everywhere in the UK!).

The northern end...

...and the beach end
