Junction and Breakwater Trail

A roughly 10 km cycling trail on a former railway line, running through woods and wetlands between Rehoboth and Lewes.

The Junction and Breakwater Trail follows an old 19th-century railway line for about 10 km. Its surface is flat, and it runs through pine woods, farmland and tidal wetlands, with wooden bridges and viewpoints along the way. It is the most comfortable cycling route between Rehoboth and Lewes, avoiding the traffic on the coastal highway. Bike rental shops are at both ends, so you can ride back after lunch in Lewes. The trail is free and unlit, so finish riding before dusk. Bring insect repellent in summer.
