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.

  • Hampshire Rambler Newsletter
    HAMPSHIRE RAMBLER July 2015 * General Council 2015 * SDNP 5th Anniversary * Coastal Access * The Big Path Watch * European Ramblers Assn * Path Changes * New Area Chairman ~ From Our New Chairman, David Nichols ~ Hello I am David Nichols and I was elected to be the Ramblers’ Chairman for Hampshire at the AGM held in February this year. Some might already know me from my being the Hampshire Area Mem- bership Secretary for the past 7-8 years. I am also Chairman and Member- ship Secretary for the Portsmouth group which I joined in 1990 and have walked with ever since. The group’s walking and social activities are very important and I would mention here that you can become as involved as you wish with both and certainly the social side is as important as the active walking. Members of group 96 which involves members who merely wish to walk, are looked after by Ruth Croker and myself for sending them a copy of this magazine. Contact details are on the rear cover. I would however suggest that those members might be missing out on the many social activities that the local group might provide and would encourage participa- tion. My thanks to Owen Plunkett for the past eight years in the chair and he remains as Public- ity Officer and our interested party in the South Downs National Park. I would draw your attention to an article later in this edition of the celebration on Easter Saturday of the Fifth Anniversary of its creation. I wish you all a happy walking summer although as I write the temperatures are already rising! ~ VE Day: First Days of Peace - Ben Robinson, in a BBC film, reveals the postwar revolution that altered the English countryside into a landscape that could not only feed the nation but also be seen as a place of leisure.

  • 4 the Rights of Way Network in East Sussex
    4 The Rights of Way Network in East Sussex 4.1 Facts and Figures 4.1.1 The network of public rights of way in East Sussex is approximately 2,211 miles (3,558km), broken down as follows: Percentage of the total Classification of Public Right of Way miles kilometres network Public Footpaths 1,614 2,597 73% Public Bridleways 465 748 21% Restricted Byways (former RUPPs) 88 142 4% Byways Open to All Traffic 44 71 2% Map showing the public rights of way network in East Sussex © Crown Copyright. All rights reserved. East Sussex County Council 100019601.2006 4.1.2 Public rights of way include the following designations: • Public footpaths are public rights of way on foot only; • Public bridleways are available to the public on foot, horse back, leading a horse and bicycle; • Byways open to all traffic carry full highway rights for all users including motorists; • Restricted byways are open to those that can use a bridleway and non- motorised vehicles (such as a horse and cart). 27 All public rights of way are legally open to mobility vehicles for disabled people. However, many public rights of way (especially many footpaths) are not physically available to mobility vehicles (see 5.6). 4.1.3 The introduction of geographic information systems (computerised or digitised mapping) and GPS (global positioning system) means that there is greater opportunity for public rights of way records to be updated more accurately. More detail on the use of computerised mapping can be found in 5.11. 4.1.4 The make up of the rights of way network differs greatly between the South Downs and the rest of the county.

  • Circular the Walk Starts and finishes at East Grinstead Rail Station Which Is Served by Trains Direct from London
    Hi, I'm Tom and this is my West Sussex Weekends walk. EAST GRINSTEAD AND THE HIGH I live and work in London but often head out of town to catch up with my dad, meeting up wherever his travels WEALD, WEST SUSSEX take him. My dad’s latest trip was to East Grinstead and a quick bit of research tells me it’s on the edge of the High Weald AONB. It’s a patchwork of small farms and woodlands, sunken lanes, parkland and tiny villages. 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 Challenging Terrain what highlights to expect. The West Sussex Weekends website is a great 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. 7 miles Getting there Circular The walk starts and finishes at East Grinstead rail station which is served by trains direct from London. If you are coming by car, the station has its own large car park 3.5 hours which is on the opposite side of the rail line from the station building itself. The fee is £5 per day Mon-Sat and £2 per day on Sundays (correct October 2015). 301015 The car park is accessed from Grosvenor Road, approximate post code RH19 1HS.
