Overview

Please join me for classic South downs walk. This is an exhilarating 10 mile walk along the South Downs Way, the beautiful hills of Chalk grassland with panoramic views inland and out to the sea by Brighton. 

Other highlights; the famous Jack and Jill windmills, mysterious dew ponds and of course at the end the historic town of Lewes

Please bring a picnic as lunch will be in a field.

Please use the toilets on the train, there are no toilets at Hassocks.
