50 Walks in Sussex and South Downs Guidebook

updated by: Dixe Wills. originally compiled by Nick Channer
Wooded in the west and bare and exposed in the east, the Downs offer miles of exhilarating walking. A bracing hike along the ridge of these hills is often accompanied by a feint tang of the sea and magnificent views of the coast and the Weald. While some of the best walking will be found on the South Downs there are many opportunities to explore the rest of Sussex on foot.

The walks in this guide reach every corner of the county, from the gentle coastal terrain of Chichester Harbour to the glorious wooded landscape of Ashdown Forest. The routes are designed to capture the essence and spirit of Sussex, visiting many of its famous landmarks and revealing the diversity of its splendid scenery. Every aspect of its history and geology is recorded. All that has shaped and influenced this county over the centuries is here.

This well-established guide explores some of the best countryside in Sussex. It includes 50 themed walks of between 2 and 10 miles, each with fascinating background reading. There are clear, easy-to-follow route descriptions and full colour detailed sketch maps for every walk. Each walk chapter is prefaced by a practical information panel and then a section with interesting information on what to look out for during the walk. Details of places to eat and drink are provided, including guidance for dog owners on where to walk and dog-friendly establishments.
