Sussex Coast sundial trail
`

This is a selection of dials to see in the area surrounding Brighton and Hove all accessible by public transport. I have included a grid reference if you wish to locate them on a map and travel by car, but the best way is to pick up a bus timetable and an all-day bus ticket.

Many thanks to Jackie Jones for providing this sundial trail.
