Overview

Hopefully this walk along the top from Devils Dyke will offer views over the surrounding countryside. We walk along to the other side of Truleigh Hill before descending to Tottington Manor. We walk along looking back up at the Downs and along to Poynings before starting the long walk back up through Devils Dyke.

Please bring walking poles if you normally use them for the descent.

Please bring a snack and a picnic. We will stop for our morning break at Truleigh Hill YHA so opportunities for refreshments. There’s always the option for a cup of tea or other refreshments at the end at The Devils Dyke Inn.

Please note parking charges apply and National Trust  car park for members.

Please meet opposite the Devils Dyke Inn , there’s more than one car park.

Please text the leader if you plan to join this walk.
