Seaford Trails
The Heritage Trail
A walking tour of central Seaford starting at either the Martello Tower or the Railway Station – or indeed anywhere you like. Just pick your current point from the map or from the list of points here, follow the trail and discover Seaford’s past; hear tales of smuggling and political intrigue. Walking time is about an hour, but allow two hours or so for reading the stories and in case you are tempted to stop in one of Seaford’s many cafes or bars. The map of the trail is available here.

Seaford Bay Exercise Path
Starts at Splash Point and covers five miles. It takes walkers, joggers and cyclists on a round trip along the Promenade past the Sailing Club and through to the historic remains of Tidemills, then turns north and east to return under the Bishopstone Railway Bridge and back along the promenade. Walkers may like to see what the surroundings looked like in past times so we have included some historic information about the area.
Note: Noticeboards in various parts of the town date from 2003. These online versions are updated regularly and the Heritage Trail has been expanded. Information will differ from the noticeboards’ content.
Seaford’s Blue Plaques
As you’ll discover on the Heritage trail particularly, a number of notable people have had connections with Seaford. We have installed Blue Plaques on buildings or sites once occupied or at least visited by national or local celebrities.
