A humble coastal village in the United Kingdom, Saltdean can be found situated on the chalk cliffs of the south coast of England in East Sussex, just an 8-kilometre (5-mile) cycle away from the busy city of Brighton and its many cosy hotels. Switch up the fast-paced lifestyle for a much slower and more tranquil one as you cycle along tree-lined roads and avenues found in the residential districts or visit the cliffs overlooking the vast coastline of East Sussex. Be sure to check out the village’s notable Undercliff Walk, a waterside stretch of seawall — home to crabs and other creatures.
