Overview

This walk takes us out of South Harting up onto the South Downs Way.  We will proceed east along the SDW and turn back on ourselves in a loop past Telegraph House and Round Down before dropping back down to the village.  Steady climb initially up to SDW, couple of up and overs including Beacon Hill, at comfortable pace to take in the views.
