Hassocks station became important in Edwardian times as a convenient railhead for the South Downs - a role that continues today. It is approximately two miles from here to the top of the escarpment, a walk that can be done almost entirely without walking along roads by using this footpath that runs parallel to the railway. The Hassocks Parish Council sign makes this clear, but first it is necessary to negotiate the steps.
