Overview

A hilly walk in the South Downs. Starting from Harting Down we will head over Beacon Hill and along the South Downs Way as far as Linch Ball. We will then loop south via Chilgrove, East and North Marden and Telegraph House.

This is a fairly strenuous walk with several significant ascents and descents but we should be rewarded with superb views, weather permitting.
