A lovely, varied walk taking in both the stunning bluebells at West Stoke Woods and the impressive yew trees at the foot of Kingley Vale, some of which are reputed to be over 2000 years old. Then a steady climb up to the Devils Humps at the top of Kingley Vale with its panoramic views over Chichester Harbour. The descent undulates back down to the village of West Stoke with an outlook towards Chichester Cathedral, the Isle of Wight and the Spinnaker Tower at Portsmouth on a clear day. There is the opportunity to finish the walk with coffee and cake at the Vale Cafe before returning past a field of Alpacas to the car park.
Picnic Yes
Assistance Dogs only
The climb up to the top of Kingley Vale is quite strenuous for a length of just over one mile but the view is worth it, The descent back down is on a seriously gutted farm track for a good section of the way. There are sometimes cattle at the top of Kingley Vale. Toilets are only available towards the end of the walk at Vale Cafe. No dogs.
West Stoke car park. Free of charge or voluntary contribution. The car park is popular, so car share where possible.
