We are the South West Sussex Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Dogs are welcome, if they are calm with livestock. Dogs will need to be on a lead for the duration of the walk. Please bring poo bags.
On this walk there maybe sheep or cows residing in the fields.
We start from the White Horse at Chilgrove pub car park, where we have permission to park, for those partaking just in a walk, or who wish to join us for a drink afterwards. Please ignore the signs saying parking for patrons only, on this basis.
We leave the car park and go along the road for approximately 50 yards, then turn off and cross over a field. This will then take us down to Hooksway.
We then begin our undulating walk around the beautiful countryside of Hooksway, which will lead us on to the Southdowns way, prior to returning to Hooksway, by the Royal Oak pub.
From here we will then start our steady climb to West Monkton, which is designated by Historic England as a Scheduled Monument that was interpreted in 1979 as a deserted medieval village, surviving as earthworks and below-ground archaeological remains and the standing and buried remains of post medieval farm buildings.
From here, we will follow the path, that will lead back to the road that will take us back to the pub car park.
