Fisherman's Walk & the Cliff Lift

Fisherman's Walk is a historic green space near to both the coast and the busy shopping area of Southbourne Grove. In 2010 Fisherman's Walk won its first Green Flag awarded to well-managed parks and green spaces. The Friends of Fisherman's Walk (FFW) are a volunteer group of local residents committed to raising awareness and use of the walk and regenerating it for the benefit of the community.

The Fisherman's Walk, Southbourne Cliff Lift was opened in 1935 and is still operational offering a direct route from the cliff top to the beach.
