Galley Hill, Bexhill-on-Sea

At the eastern end of the seafront, the road climbs to the top of Galley Hill. There is ample free parking here by the Sea Angling Club building and access to the beach underneath the cliffs is by walking east across the shingle strand. The line of 25 foot high cliffs here run for about 500 yards before descending to beach level at Glyne Gap.

Another 500 yards east can be found Little Galley Hill - a misnomer in true "Silly Sussex" tradition - in that this is even higher with cliffs rising some 40 feet from the beach. Free parking for these outcrops (along with public toilets) is close by alongside Bexhill-on-Sea swimming pool. Access to the beach from here is by following the 'Cafe on the Beach' signs through the tunnel under the railway line. The turn left past the beach huts and cross the shingle.

These cliffs comprise iron banded Tunbridge Wells Sandstones overlying Wadhurst Clay. Fossils that can be found here include footprints casts of the dinosaur Iguanadon (specimens of these can be viewed in the nearby museum in Egerton Road), fish teeth and bivalve casts in siderite (ironstone) nodules.
