From Lewes to
Brighthelmstone 8 miles, a Pretty Town situated on the Sea with a fine fertile
Country round it, many of the Nobility and Gentry resort to it during the
Summer Months to drink and bathe in the Sea Water, but it has no buildings or
anything else worth remarking. From Brighthelmstone to Bramber is 9 miles, over
a high and very extensive down, with the Sea on your left and a rich and
pleasant Country on your right, and in front, the whole Affording a most
extensive View of the richest nature and very beautiful to the Eye. The downs
in this Country feed large Flocks of Sheep. From Bramber to Finelon 6 miles,
the like Views and Country but rather exceeding it in height and prospect.
