OFF THE BEATEN TRACK IN SUSSEX BY ARTHUR STANLEY COOKE WITH ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ILLUSTRATIONS BY SUSSEX ARTISTS IN CUCKFIELD PARK (By Walter Puttick.) HERBERT JENKINS LIMITED 3 YORK STREET LONDON S.W. i A HERBERT JENKINS' BOOK Printed in Great Britain by Wyman & Sons Ltd., London, Reading and Fakenham, BOSHAM (page 176). (By Hubert Schroder, A.R.E.) PREFACE this volume tends to make our varied and beautiful county " " better known, it shall do well especially if it gives pleasure to those unable to take such walks. If it has, IF here and there, a thought or an idea not generally obvious, it may perhaps be forgiven the repetitions which are inevitable in describing similar details forgiven the recital of familiar facts, whether historical, archaeological or natural forgiven, where, by the light of later or expert knowledge, errors are apparent. Some of these blemishes are consequent on the passage of time necessary to cover so large an area by frequent personal visitation. Some thirty-seven rambles are described, about equally divided between the east and west divisions of the county. Although indications of route are given, chiefly for the benefit of strangers, it does not claim to be a guide-book. Its size would preclude such a use. Neither does it pretend to be exhaustive. Much more remains to be dealt with. Sincere acknowledgments are due to the various sources from which information has been gathered, the Sussex Archaeological Collections, as usual, having been largely drawn upon. Much of the interest of the book will be due to the number and variety of its illustrations, by twenty-five different pens. They are all reproduced from original black-and-white drawings. My thanks are specially given to the members of the Brighton Arts Club, present and past, no less than twenty of whom have con- tributed sketches. One of the past members, Mr. Arthur B. Packham, has been most generous with his work. A. S. C.

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

  • Sussex Hospice Trail Part 26 Halnaker to Chichester
    A 10 mile linear walk from Halnaker SUSSEX HOSPICES TRAIL crossroads to Chichester rail station in PART 26: West Sussex, forming the 26th and final stretch of the Sussex Hospices Trail. HALNAKER TO CHICHESTER IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a linear route which relies on a bus for the return journey which runs Mon-Sat only. On Sundays you will need to use taxis. Challenging Terrain This stretch of the trail is packed with interest, leading you through Halnaker Park (with a very long magnificent stretch of flint wall and mansion ruins), past Goodwood Racecourse, over St Roche’s Hill, along the Centurion Way and finally visiting Chichester Cathedral. From the summit of St Roche’s Hill you will be rewarded with some of the best views of the whole trail, a panoramic vista 10 Miles taking in Chichester Harbour, Chichester Cathedral and a long stretch of the coast to the south, as well as the South Linear Downs to the north. The hospices of Sussex are dedicated to providing 5 hours specialist end-of-life care. Friends of Sussex Hospices has worked with partners and supporters to create the Sussex Hospices Trail, a 200 mile long-distance path to support and raise awareness of the twelve hospice care providers 120519 that serve the adults and children of Sussex. If you are looking for refreshments, you will find two pubs in East Lavant (The Royal Oak and The Earl of March) about 6 miles into the route and there are plenty of pubs and cafes in Chichester at the end of your walk.
