Overview

Starting by the Frankland Arms we will walk through the village, past the church and along the under hill path to Chantry Lane. We will then climb to Kithurst Hill for some spectacular views over Storrington. We then cross the South Down Way and walk down to Lee Farm before returning to Chantry Post and continue on the South Downs Way back to Washington. This is a hilly walk with very rewarding views.

There will be some muddy paths, including on the ascent so footwear with a good grip is essential and walking poles are strongly recommended. 
Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water as the pub will only be available at the end of the walk. 
While dogs are welcome, provided they are kept under control, we are likely to pass sheep with young lambs so they may need to be kept on a lead for a large part of the walk.
