We are the Brighton and Hove Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular walk starting from Falmer Pond (near Stanmer). Walking north through Stanmer Park, east to the ridge of the South Downs, then circling west to Ditchling Beacon before descending through Stanmer Woods and round the back of the University campus, returning to our start point.
Potential tea/pee breaks at Stanmer Cafe, the Pink Pit Stop (if it's open) and at the Beacon where we will pause for lunch. Please bring a packed meal, although it should be possible to buy something to eat at Stanmer on our outward journey if necessary. Pub option near the finish.
Plenty of parking around Stanmer Pond. The start is a 20 minute walk from Falmer railway station through the Amex stadium and over The Drove road.
If you can, please RSVP to this walk via our Meetup site. This will give the walk leader a rough idea of how many people may be attending. If you are a paid up member of the Ramblers organisation, you can ignore any waitlist you may find yourself on.
We don't ask you to pay to join us on your first three walks. Afterwards, in order to continue walking with our group, you must become a paid-up member of the Ramblers. Click here (https://www.ramblers.org.uk/membership) to apply. The cost is very reasonable and there are also other benefits. Please then bring your membership card with you.
The walk will start from Falmer Pond.
