Leave the car park by a kissing gate and follow a footpath signed to Combe Hill and Wannock, walking parallel with the road up which you’ve just travelled. Off to the right the coastline can be seen curving towards Bexhill and Hastings. Before long come to a bench seat by a dome of scrub. A short distance beyond this veer left where the path forks, and rise onto Combe Hill, over which the way then slopes down between gorse bushes, and crosses a stile. Over a second stile maintain direction down a long sloping spur of downland. On coming to an oak post bearing a Wealdway waymark continue ahead for about 80m to a second oak post. Leave the Wealdway here and veer left into trees and scrub where the path then strikes through an ‘avenue’ of gorse, before coming to a kissing gate. Maintain direction across a sloping field to a stile giving access to a woodland strip. Out of the trees descend to a white cottage beside which a gate leads onto a narrow lane that takes you into Jevington’s main street at TQ 563 014. For refreshments in Jevington turn right along the road to reach The Eight Bells pub.
