Convenient car park was inconveniently full and overflowing, and I had to park on the roadside verge with a number of other folk, none of whom seemed interested in the trig pillar. Was irritated to find someone had clipped my wing mirror by the time I returned. Still, not a huge price to pay for a haul of three pillars. Obviously, this one's the nearest, and is very easily accessible from the field side via the gate next to the car park. A nice easy bag, in stark contrast to the other two...

Walk through the woods to the Cuckmere river valley for fantastic views as well as the huge chalk horse carved into the hillside, you will be standing right on it 50 yds away from CP so look carefully. The Comp pillar is 30 mins walk to the west.

Very easy, just inside the fenced field but very accessible. The centre plug has been replaced with a plastic bung bur apart from that, all is well with this pillar.

I wasn't even looking for this one as I passed by en route to Seaford today but had already passed parking place so didn't stop. I probably noticed the pillar first way back in 1974 when I was last working in this area. Stopped by here on my way back from Brighton (work again) July 15 2010, this time to actually look at the trig. This must rank as one of the easiest trigs to visit, it is very close to the road, albeit the other side of the fence, it is adjacent to a convenient public parking space and the flush bracket can be viewed from the road side - beware the electric fence. Location always worth a visit for views and walks.
