Tuesday 23rd December – 10.30am – Pagham to Aldwick
Leader: Richard and Sue This walk is in conjunction with Heartsmart
Duration: 2.5 hours. Distance: 6 miles. Lovely beach and shoreline as well as some footpath/field walking.
A part of the walk is on uneven ground, so sensible shoes required. Dogs are welcome, if they are calm with livestock. Dogs will need to be on a lead for the duration of the walk. Please bring poo bags. On this walk there maybe sheep or cows residing in the fields. Please note, if there is an alternative route to avoid livestock, we will consider this, but it may not always be possible.
Our walks are geared for walkers who enjoy a brisk, but comfortable walk.
We shall start from Pagham and make our way to Pagham Church. Pagham was one of the foremost English trading ports until the 14th Century but a huge storm in 1341 devastated the area and the harbour gradually silted up. We will then walk along the shoreline to Aldwick.
Aldwick is a seaside village and was briefly the home of King George V at Craigwell House. We will explore the area around the Aldwick Bay Estate, which was established in 1929, before heading back to Pagham along the shore line. A flat walk, with the occasional uneven surface and muddy patch.
Meet: Outside the Lamb Inn in Pagham on the main road. Post Code: PO21 3QX. What3words: behind.driveway.blissful
Parking is on the road, outside the pub. There is plenty of parking in Pagham Road and in nearby residential areas.
By car: The B2145 from Chichester and then the B2166 to Pagham. The Lamb Inn is on the left as you enter the village. By bus. The 600 from Chichester to Bognor goes past the Lamb Inn and is a frequent service.
Richard and Sue would like to invite you to join them to partake of some refreshments at The Lamb, after the walk.
