A partial re-walk of a circular last done in 2011, but affected by the wind (some slight disturbance today, but not significant). Today's variant, however, is linear, from Berwick, and the section to West Firle (around 6 miles) wasn't previously walked. The weather was overcast, with some sunny intervals and a westerly breeze.
The church interior at Berwick was an early highlight, being decorated by members of The Bloomsbury Group. They did something similar at Charleston Farmhouse, apparently, though this was not filmed.
The 15th century manor house of Firle Place is passed, and then its church, Saint Peter's.
The village of Glynde is soon reached, famous for its various concerts, followed by an ascent of the down land to the foot of 'Mount' Caburn.
Lewes golf club is then passed for the last section of walking, via Cliffe, to journey's end.
A decent walk through the Downs, transitioning from the Cuckmere floodplain up to loftier heights later. Good path surfaces today, but with two tricky crossings of the busy A27.
(The cottage the walker was stood outside of when filming the floodplain view was the Walton cottage, not the Morgan one, as mentioned on commentary.
The Pilgrim Path starts at Alfriston and does a 12 mile 'round' to Wilmington.
The unnamed pub at Firle is, of course, 'The Ram').
