Overview

Please join me for a beautiful, exhilarating walk along the South Downs. Fantastic views south to the sea and north inland.

Highlights are: 2 windmills, medieval dew ponds and an iron age fort at Ditchling Beacon. Then the lovely town of Lewes to end the walk- with ancient high street and Norman castle.
 
Please bring a packed lunch, lunch in a field with fantastic views.

No dogs due to livestock.

No booking required.

The finishing time is an estimate only and will be dependent on a number of factors such as, weather, the speed at which the group walks and the number of breaks taken.
