Overview

Leader: Richard & Sue This walk is in conjunction with Heartsmart

Duration: 2 hrs 30 mins. Distance: 6 miles. Ascent 80m.

 

A part of the walk is on uneven ground, 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. On this walk there maybe sheep or cows residing in the fields. Please note, if there is an alternative route to avoid livestock, we will consider this, but it may not always be possible.

 

Our walks are geared for walkers who enjoy a brisk, but comfortable walk.

 

We walk around Graffham and through Lavington Park, which includes Seaford College’s spectacular grounds before heading back to Graffham through Lavington Stud.

 

The Woodcote Pub in Graffham is a friendly warm and inviting environment to enjoy refreshments. Will be nice for you to join us afterwards.
