Overview

A slightly shorter than usual walk offset by 3 hills on the walk. From Counters Gate car park about a mile east of Goodwood racecourse we set off towards Charlton and Singleton for a coffee stop next to the recreation ground and church at the picnic tables. We soon ascend our first hill, Trueleigh Down towards it’s nature reserve. We then route via North Down en route to East Dean for our lunch stop. We then climb out of East Dean and join the Monarch’s Way back to the start.

No booking required.
