We are the South West Sussex Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Suzanne M.
Duncton, Barlavington & Sutton - circular walk
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: 2 hours 30 mins. Distance: 6 miles.
A part of the walk is on uneven ground with one tree stump to climb, so sensible shoes required and poles may be useful. 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.
This walk will begin in Duncton and is largely flat, on mostly well-established but, occasionally, there may be muddy paths. We will explore Burton Park. The present house was built around 1828, while Burton Church dates from the Norman Conquest.
We will then make our way to Sutton before returning to Duncton via Barlavington. There will be an opportunity to see Duncton Mill and the trout fishery nearby.
There is a stile and tree to climb over on this walk.
Richard and Sue would like to invite you to join them at the Badgers pub at Duncton, which is a very welcoming pub for walkers.
Meet: Catholic church car park. You can park at Duncton Village Hall or the Catholic church off the A285 towards Petworth at the other end of Duncton Village. By car: Duncton is on the A285 between Chichester and Petworth and you pass the Cricketers Pub. The turning for the Village Hall / Church car park is approximately ¼ mile down the road on the right. There is a clear sign post indicating where to turn. By bus: No 99 from Chichester to Petworth but bus departure times need to be checked.
