Overview

Leaders: Suzanne with Richard as joint leader from Heartsmart - This is a combined Heartsmart and Ramblers walk for those who wish to join us for a weekday rambler.

Duration: 3 hours. Distance: 7.5 miles.

This outstanding walk through archetypal Sussex countryside has scenic rolling views from the top of Cissbury Ring. Cissbury Ring is owned by the National Trust and is an Iron Age hill fort built around 400BC. The walk will also take us around Findon, a beautiful village right on the Sussex Downs, which has also been famous as a horse racing village since the 1800s. The first part of the walk is on footpaths through fields, a small stretch could be muddy in winter, so sensible shoes required.

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.

Richard and Sue would like to invite you to join them to partake of some refreshments at The Black Horse in Findon village, which is a lovely, welcoming pub after the walk.
