Barcombe Mills to Lewes perhaps, on the Ouse?
Otherwise if you paddle the River Cuckmere you'll end up at Cuckmere Haven (not a bad place to end upl). I'm not too sure where you'd start though (somewhere still tidal I guess otherwise kayaking is not legal).
Best to paddle towards the sea when the tide is going out. You move a lot quicker!

Cuckmere -> Cuckmere Haven -> Newhaven -> Lewes

You just have to paddle by sea from Cuckmere Haven to Newhaven

Yes it is allowed as long as you don't go past The Anchor at Barcombe

Easy if you're with the tide. Set off about 1 hour before newhaven high tide. If you want to go back as well then leave it a little later. The reeds near alfriston are quite well grown so you have to fight through
