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. Hills, woodland, views, villages, pubs In Brief This is an unforgettable circular walk between two quiet downland villages. In between them is the escarpment of the South Downs, steep in the north and sloping gently down on the south side. There is a moderate climb at the start but, after that, the gradients are not too taxing. The terrain is mainly woodland but on the way you will be surprised by sudden views. There is an excellent friendly village pub, with good food, in each village. Note that the Unicorn in Heyshott is closed on Monday (for info ring 01730- 813486). The Star and Garter in East Dean has re-opened (as Apr 2019). It's always advisable to check (t heir number is 01243-811318). There are one or two short sections along this walk with nettles or scratchy undergrowth – enough to make shorts uncomfortable. The ground under- foot is generally firm and dry, although possibly in wet conditions the path back to Heyshott at the end might have some muddy patches.

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.

    South Downs National Park Authority Authority Monitoring Report 01 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 December 2020 1 Executive Summary This is the sixth Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) produced by the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) and it is the first AMR to be produced since the adoption of the South Downs Local Plan (SDLP) in July 2019. The end of the monitoring year, March 31 2020, marked exactly a decade since the South Downs National Park Authority came into being. The South Downs National Park was designated on 18 December 2002 under Part 2 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by the South Downs (National Park) Designation Order 2002. This was the day when 1,600km2 of England’s most cherished lowland landscape was able to enjoy management, through the planning system, for the enjoyment of the nation as a special place for natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage. This AMR helps to monitor how effective the National Park Authority has been on delivering on its purposes and duty. The AMR reports on a number of planning documents including the SDLP, numerous neighbourhood development plans and adopted and emerging waste and minerals plans. The AMR reports on the financial year 2019-20, which is the sixth year of the 2014-2033 plan period for the SDLP. The monitoring year was only affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in its final month. This will obviously have had a significant impact on development in the current year, which will be reported on in the 2021 AMR.
