The Sussex Border Path is a long-distance footpath around the borders of Sussex, a historic county and former medieval kingdom in southern England. The main path is 150 miles (240 km) long and stays close to Sussex's borders with Hampshire, Surrey and Kent, connecting Thorney Island (50°49′16″N 0°55′16″W / 50.821°N 0.921°W / 50.821; -0.921) to Rye (50°56′56″N 0°43′44″E / 50.949°N 0.729°E / 50.949; 0.729).^[1] There is also an additional 33-mile (53 km) spur known as the Mid Sussex Link, which links East Grinstead with Fishersgate and Mile Oak on the western boundary of the city of Brighton and Hove.^[2]

The Sussex Border Path is not a National Trail, but when the England Coast Path National Trail is completed, its Sussex stretch will in combination with the Border Path make a route allowing a complete walk around the county.
