Amberley, West Sussex Amberley, West Sussex Starts at Amberley Village Centre TQ030133 3 hours 0 minutes | 6.8miles 10.9km | Leisurely ID: 220.9 | Developed by: Andrew McCloy | Checked by: Robin Segulem | www.walkmag.co.uk A circular walk across the South Downs, above the Arun Valley from Amberley, West Sussex. A great route to experience walking at night, but also very enjoyable during the day! © Crown Copyright 2012 500 m Scale = 1 : 27K 2000 ft Main Route Alternative Route Point of Interest Waypoint A selection of Routemaster Walking Guides as featured in Walk: the Magazine of the Ramblers. Starts at Amberley Village Centre TQ030133 Ends at Amberley Village Centre TQ030133 Getting there Amberley Station, a mile south of the village, is on the Arun Valley line with frequent, daily trains from London Victoria and Chichester (www. southernrailway.com) and a limited local bus service (www.compass-travel.co.uk) Route instructions If you’re keen to experience a night-time ramble for the first time, then try this straightforward route – although it’s a delightful walk in the daylight as well! Amberley is one of the most attractive villages in Sussex, with thatched cottages and a 12th-century church. A short lane takes you up and on to the South Downs Way, and from here the public bridleways should present no serious navigational problems, even by moonlight. After a loop through the undulating downs to the south, the return to Amberley is via the South Downs Way across Rackham Hill, with superb views over the Sussex countryside. [1] Take School Road southwards out of Amberley (TQ030133), carefully cross the B2139, and follow the narrow Mill Lane opposite as it climbs uphill. Where it swings right after a junction leave it and go straight on, past the entrance to a house called Highdown, and pick up the South Downs Way (TQ034126) along the clear bank on the left. If you turn left at the road junction you will drop down to the B2139 once more, where you can reach the open-air industrial heritage centre of Amberley Working Museum and also the railway station. [2] Follow the well-walked National Trail as it climbs the open slope, ignoring tracks off. (A) As you make your way up past Rackham Banks (TQ047126), which are early Iron Age cross dykes or boundary markers, the lights of mid Sussex and the Weald will be twinkling away to the left – the view extends to 48km/30 miles in clear conditions. [3] As you approach the top of the hill you come to a junction of tracks. Turn right and walk along the edge of some woodland. Another bridleway comes in on the right, then you soon reach a complicated intersection of routes. At first go right, towards Burpham, then almost immediately left for a long, straight bridleway that gradually descends towards Wepham Down. [4] After a kilometre or so turn off left, then left again to head back northwards. Ignoring a right fork, go straight on along a clear, rising track that skirts the edge of a narrow strip of woodland. Just beyond this the track emerges at a major route junction on Kithurst Hill (TQ071125), where you rejoin the South Downs Way near a car park. [5] Turn left, heading westwards along the National Trail across the crest of the downs and making for Rackham Hill (TQ054126). (B) At 193m/633ft, Rackham Hill is one of the best viewpoints on the South Downs, overlooking the stately grounds of Parham House and also Amberley Wild Brooks – a large area of floodplain centred on the River Arun. Winter flooding provides a valuable habitat for wildfowl, and the RSPB and Sussex Wildlife Trust both manage reserves that are open to the public. To conclude the walk simply follow the South Downs Way due west from the hilltop, rejoining the outward route and dropping back down into Amberley via the lane.

As a result of widespread concern about domestic abuse there are now many organisations, support groups, refuges and other forms of assistance. There is an information card available for everyone to take home, briefly showing how the Church in the United Kingdom is responding to this problem..

  • Report To: Housing & City Support
    Agenda Item 6 Report PC 75/13 Report to Planning Committee Date 12 September 2013 By Director of Planning Local Authority SDNPA (Arun District) Application Number SDNP/12/01594/FUL Applicant Mr and Mrs D and K Searle Application Change of use of land to a private gypsy and traveller caravan site consisting of 8 no. permanent residential pitches, play area and landscaping. Address The Former Petrol Filling Station, Land Lying South Of former A27, Poling, Arundel Purpose of Report The application is reported to Committee for a decision. Recommendation: That planning permission be granted for the reason and subject to the conditions in paragraph 10.1 of this report. Executive Summary The proposal is for the site to be a permanent gypsy and traveller site for 8 pitches. The application has been considered against the criteria set out on the Planning Policy for Traveller Sites 2012 and found to meet the criteria. The development is acknowledged to affect to some degree the character and setting of this part of the South Downs National Park in terms of its impact on rural tranquillity. Whilst it is acknowledged that this is a large scale scheme, in a rural location, it is considered that when balanced against the need for gypsy and traveller sites, and given the design, layout and appearance can be justified notwithstanding its rural location and countryside policies. The Highway Authority has raised no objection to the scheme. Comments and concerns raised by the community in relation to planning issues include the lack of need for such permanent sites, adverse impact on the landscape, overdevelopment and highway safety.

  • A27 Route Strategy Introduction
    A27 Route Strategy Introduction This presentation covers ● Study objectives ● Guiding Principles ● Initial options sifting ● Three package assessment ● Preferred package assessment – Description – Cost – Cost benefit analysis ● Wider impacts ● Complementary strategy ● Delivery plan ● Conclusions 2 Study Objectives Specific objectives for the schemes were defined that reflected challenges and opportunities in the study area: ● Improve journey times and journey time reliability for strategic (longer distance traffic) on the A27, whilst ensuring the dual function of the A27 as a longer distance strategic route and a local access route is maintained; ● Improve access by private and public transport to key employment and regeneration areas within Coastal West Sussex; ● Enable proposed housing, employment and retail growth to take place within Coastal West Sussex without undue congestion; ● Improve connectivity to/from the Manhood Peninsula (including Selsey and the Witterings). A set of guiding principles were developed to steer decision making. 3 Guiding Principles Strategic: ● Study objectives need to fit with wider transport and government objectives, including those of WSCC and the Highways Agency; ● Interventions should be affordable and achievable in the short term, but should not prejudice longer term aspirations for the route (considered at this stage to be the Chichester fly-overs, Arundel By-pass and Worthing by-pass); ● Complementary local transport strategies will be required for Chichester, Arundel, and Worthing / Lancing to lock in the benefits of the identified strategy, and address residual problems on the network; ● Wider impacts on local traffic will need to be considered alongside improvements for strategic traffic on the A27 itself. E.g. Options such as closing of roundabouts or banning right turns, which benefit through movements on the A27, may have significant adverse impacts on access to urban areas or use of other local routes.
