The name of the road that links Birling Manor to the A259. The road between the latter and Birling Gap was laid out towards the end of the 19th century and named after the local landowning family. The section between the junction with Lower Street and Birling manor follows the old track from the village, however, that north of the former to the A259 was newly made to replace access through the narrow streets of East Dean. South of the manor the road to Birling Gap replaced an old track that ran to the east. This view looks towards the southern edge of the village with Image to the left and Image beyond the flint wall to the right.
