Now a restricted byway and part of national cycle route 2 but until the 1820s this was the main road from Newhaven to Brighton and was replaced by a turnpike with a lesser gradient that made it easier for coaches. Still used by vehicles to access the scattered houses on Harbour Heights and Peacehaven Heights.
