  • Cissbury Ring and Stump Bottom, West Sussex
    Hi there! Adele here and this is my West Sussex Weekends walk CISSBURY RING AND STUMP It’s a great 5 mile loop around Cissbury Ring, the largest hill fort in Sussex, near to the tiny village of Findon. The BOTTOM, WEST SUSSEX effort of getting to the top of Cissbury Ring is always worthwhile and on a clear, sunny day I’m rewarded with a changing vista in every direction. To read my full story visit www.west-sussex-weekends.com so I can tell you why I think you will love this walk and what highlights to expect. The West Sussex Weekends website is a great Challenging Terrain resource where you will also find ideas for places to stay, eat and drink plus plenty more inspirational stories to tempt you to explore more corners of West Sussex. Getting there 5 miles Cissbury Ring is located close to the village of Findon, just north of Worthing in West Sussex. From the Circular roundabout where the A24 meets the A280, take the small road heading east signed for Findon village. At the crossroads go ahead into Cross Lane which then 2.5 hours becomes Nepcote Lane. The post code BN14 0SG should get you to this point. Just before the large green on the left, turn left (signed 271015 for Cissbury Ring) and follow this lane all the way along as it becomes a single track and then finally meets a gate ahead (with the hill fort mound visible on your right). There is a small parking area to your left here.

  • Cissbury Ring and Findon
    point your feet on a new path Cissbury Ring and Findon High Salvington Windmill, The Gallops Distance: 12 km=7½ miles moderate walking Region: West Sussex Date written: 3-may-2018 Author: Hautboy Last update: 2-jul-2021 Refreshments: Findon Map: Explorer 121 (Arundel) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Great open spaces, all-round views, church, country village, ancient hill fort In Brief This is a walk for any lover of views and wide open spaces. If you are new to the location, several surprises await you, so it may be best not to do an early read-through but let each new wonder come unannounced. From the two high locations on this walk the views are wide-ranging. But although the walk is of “moderate” difficulty, in practise the gradients are quite easy, being assisted by a zigzag path and graded paths which take you there gently. There were no nettles or brushy undergrowth on the route so wearing shorts is not a problem. All the paths are either stony tracks or grass, so sensible walking shoes are adequate for this walk. This is definitely dog country but be careful crossing the A24 (made easy by the dual carriageway and crossing lights). The walk begins at the free Gallops car park on Bost Hill, near Worthing , West Sussex, www.w3w.co/ sometimes.possibly.sanded .

  • Bost Hill, High Salvington Windmill and Church Hill
    Bost Hill, High Salvington Windmill and Church Hill Distance: 2.8 miles or 4.5km Time: Around 90 minutes Parking and Walk Start: Bost Hill Car Park (Free) (TQ 123 070, BN13 3DD) A relatively short walk starting in Findon Valley. A couple of highlights worth noting, one has to be the superb windmill dating back to 1750. It is a working post mill and is open on a few Sundays through spring and summer: http://www.highsalvingtonwindmill.co.uk/times.php The other is the amazing carpet of bluebells in spring at the top of Church Hill, point 5 on the map. Cross over Bost Hill from the car park (1) and follow the upper line of the Gallops recreation ground for around 400 metres. Upon reaching a playground (2) take the snaking path upwards on your right to the top. Turn left and a few paces will bring you to the windmill. It is well worth a look and hopefully you will there on a Sunday that it is open. Retrace your steps and soon cross the road and walk up residential West Hill. At the end is a car park; carry on the path ahead of you. Past the Findon transmitter and on to where the path joins another at point 4. Continue straight ahead. Ignoring a finger post on the right, take the obvious path, also on the right (5), after about 0.5 miles to enter woodland. If your timing is right and you walk this in April, be prepared for the densest carpet of bluebells that certainly I have ever seen.

He also exchanged information with other mill enthusiasts and thus gathered further information on those mills he was unable to visit.
