Overview

A hilly walk taking in some of the most spectacular scenery the South Downs has to offer. From Harting Down we will go over Beacon Hill then along the South Downs Way to Linch Ball. We will then loop south via Monkton Farm, Hooksway, North Marden and Whitcombe Bottom.

Expect several ascents and descents, some of which may be steep. Some mud and slippery conditions may be experienced if the wet weather continues.
