Overview

A very easy, totally flat, track and riverside walk.

Half the walk is along a stretch of the Downs Link Path - much of which follows two dismantled railway lines and was created in 1984 with the aim of providing a 30 mile link between the North and South Downs for walkers, horse riders and cyclists.

The other half is along the bank of the River Adur which meanders through scenic meadows with the magnificent South Downs as a backdrop
