The broad path continues to contour through the woodland. The Jubilee Way runs along the 300-foot contour of the wooded slopes of the South Downs escarpment overlooking Eastbourne. Some 6 miles long, the path runs from Willingdon through meadows and woodland to Eastbourne seafront. The path was named the Jubilee Way in 1977 in celebration of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Ash dieback disease has decimated the area.

Features of a woodland with ash dieback are dead and dying trees, tree stumps, and dead branches. These features can all be seen in the photo which was taken near Eastbourne Youth Hostel.

Wood chip has been laid on the woodland path at this point though not along the entire length of the path. The wood chippings create a more level surface for bikers and walkers while also acting to stem the flow of water and suppress weeds. The wood chips may have come from trees which had ash dieback as this area, recently, had many such trees lying at the side of the path.
