South Downs National Park Boundary
A description of the boundary that delineates the division between where the South Downs National Park begins and ends.
The boundary, running from east to west, follows the city boundary with Adur to the A27 and then generally follows the north of the A27 (apart from being north of the water works at Mile Oak). It dips south to the built up area boundary at a number of places, that is at:
- Foredown Ridge, Coney Hill, Hollingbury Hill and Coldean Wood
- south of the A23, land between Woodingdean and the coast is included in the SDNP but Woodingdean, Ovingdean and Rottingdean are not in the SDNP, though surrounded by it.
- Roedean School and St Dunstan's are both in the SDNP
The universities of Sussex and Brighton are excluded from the SDNP.
