Buses: Get on board

Brighton & Hove buses share their top bus route destinations …

You may not realise it, but there are all sorts of interesting and unusual places to visit on the Brighton & Hove bus network – stretching out to Eastbourne, the South Downs, and Steyning to name but a few.

This week: Devil’s Dyke.
There are so many unique things to see and do at Devil’s Dyke. This location is one of the most iconic landmarks in the South East, holding the distinction of being the longest ‘dry’ valley in the UK. Be it on sunny days or foggy evenings, it has many spectacular panoramas to show to its visitors.

Aside from the amazing views of the South Downs, Devil’s Dyke also contains ruined ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort and the remains of a Victorian funfair. And on the right day, you might see some adventurous hang-gliders float through the sky above the valley (or perhaps you might join them yourself!).
The South Downs Way passes nearby, so for those walkers out there it could be just the start of an adventurous day out rambling.
There is an excellent pub right by the Dyke, and Brighton & Hove Buses service 77 drops you off at the car park next to the pub.
Between mid-June and August, the bus is an open top double decker to give you un-parallelled panoramic views on your way to the Dyke.
Getting to Devil’s Dyke: Route 77, ‘Breeze up to the Downs’, runs on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays as often as hourly. From 19 April the service will run every day, and from mid-June to August it will also run every 30 minutes.
