- You will meet up with university signs commencing just before and on the Willingdon roundabout.
From east and west:
- The A259 coast road connects Eastbourne to Brighton and Bognor Regis, and Folkestone in Kent and passes through Newhaven, Hastings and Hythe.
- The A27 (Southampton to Pevensey via Brighton) intersects with the A2270 (Old A22) just north of Eastbourne, turn right at the junction (traffic lights) signposted A2270 to Polegate and Willingdon (as per directions above) down to Willingdon roundabout and follow the university signs.
