Overview

A walk with a difference! Starting with a short train ride from Arundel to Amberley, we will make our way back across the South Downs with some spectacular views, a meander along the River Arun with views of Arundel Castle, before arriving to historic Arundel town centre which has an abundance of independent shops, along with eateries, ice cream parlous & pubs. 

As this walk was so well reviewed in 2024, I thought I'd run it again this year & am hoping for similar weather!
