Overview

A circular walk starting in the centre of Ditchling, walking East, then South, through woods and fields to Westmeston. We then climb to the ridge line at Streat Hill, turning West to follow the escarpment to Ditchling Beacon. Turning South and running parallel to the Ditchling road, we follow the bridleways to North Bottom and Lower Standean before returning to the ridge at Clayton Windmills, via the edge of the golf course. We turn West along the ridge to the next summit, where we pick up the Sussex Border Path which we follow all the way back to Ditchling.

Option for a drink at the Bull Hotel – opposite the car park.

Please note – the car park has toilets and is free, but it can get busy, please lift-share if possible.
