Discover the rich history of Newhaven with SCDA’s Newhaven Heritage Walking Routes.
Newhaven residents and visitors are invited to embark on an enriching journey through time with the launch of a series of local heritage walking routes. Developed by local historian Dr Jenny Flood, and a team of local community members, our three trails offer an opportunity to explore the fascinating stories and landmarks that have shaped the vibrant history of Newhaven.
Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, these walking routes unveil the hidden gems and untold tales, nestled in the streets of Newhaven. From its maritime history to its pivotal role in local industry, each route provides a glimpse into the past. Participants will have the change to stroll through local neighbourhoods, visit landmark buildings and uncover anecdotes that bring the history of Newhaven to life.
