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.

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. Historic country town, views, horse pastures, streams, bridges In Brief Petworth is among the oldest and most opulent little towns in Sussex, famous for its elegant stone buildings and antique dealers. Most visitors come to visit Petworth House and Park, a splendid treasure in the bejewelled collection of National Trust properties. You can combine this visit with the town and the scenic walk described here by obtaining a pass- out at the town entrance. There are no nettles on this walk so any kind of sensible attire is fine. Because the first half of the walk is across horse pastures, there is a fair amount of sticky ground in the damper seasons, when boots are recommended. There are some high stiles on this walk, requiring some steady agility. Your dog will enjoy this walk but a short leash will be needed in the town because of the traffic. The walk begins at the Market Square in Petworth , West Sussex, postcode GU28 0AP . There is a large car park just south of the Market Square, allowing up to 7 hours for a very reasonable charge.

  • Major Development – Proposed Minerals Sites West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan Soft Sand Review
    Major Development – proposed minerals sites West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan Soft Sand Review November 2019 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence that the national and local policies on major development in a national park have been fully considered throughout the production of the Soft Sand Review (SSR) of the West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (July 2018). This is necessary in the context of the NPPF, which states in paragraph 172: Great weight should be given to conserving and enhancing landscape and scenic beauty in National Parks, the Broads and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which have the highest status of protection in relation to these issues. The conservation and enhancement of wildlife and cultural heritage are also important considerations in these areas, and should be given great weight in National Parks and the Broads54. The scale and extent of development within these designated areas should be limited. Planning permission should be refused for major development55 other than in exceptional circumstances, and where it can be demonstrated that the development is in the public interest. Consideration of such applications should include an assessment of: a) the need for the development, including in terms of any national considerations, and the impact of permitting it, or refusing it, upon the local economy; b) the cost of, and scope for, developing outside the designated area, or meeting the need for it in some other way; and c) any detrimental effect on the environment, the landscape and recreational opportunities, and the extent to which that could be moderated.

  • Redford, New Lipchis Way, Serpent Trail
    point your feet on a new path Redford, New Lipchis Way, Serpent Trail Distance: 12½ km=8 miles easy walking Region: West Sussex Date written: 22-jul-2013 Author: Scupar Last update: 3-mar-2021 Refreshments: picnic, or local facilities after the walk Map: Explorer 133 (Petersfield) 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. Woodland, villages, meadows, heath In Brief This is a delightful and peaceful walk through the woods and meadows and over hills of a relatively unknown corner of West Sussex. It is a perfect dry weather walk, ideal in spring or late autumn when the paths are not too over- grown. It runs for part of its way on two important national trails, the New Lipchis Way , which runs from the Hampshire border down to the sea in Chichester, and the Serpent Trail , a snaking route taking in woodland and heath from Haslemere to Petersfield. As always, boots are advisable, although good walking shoes are enough in dry conditions. There are some nettles along the paths in summer making shorts uncomfortable. This walk is fine for a small or medium sized dog but a large one will have trouble with some of the stiles. The walk begins at the Linch Road Woolbeding Common car park just south of Redford, West Sussex, nearest postcode GU29 0QH, grid ref SU 863 254.
