The Cuckmere River with the village of Litlington in the distance. The village of Litlington is only one mile down river from Alfriston - an easy flat walk along the river banks.

You may notice the Heron landing on the far bank. Herons are fairly large birds and not uncommon and you are likely to see them fishing along this river.
