  • Local Defibrillators Fulking
    Local Defibrillators If you are planning a cardiac event then it makes sense (i) to have it in a location that has a defibrillator available, (ii) to have with you a companion who knows exactly where the defibrillator is, and (iii) for that companion to have some idea how to use it. The text, maps, and photos on this webpage are intended to facilitate the first two goals. With regard to the third goal, modern public access defibrillators are designed to be usable without prior instruction (they talk you through the process) but your companion will feel much more confident about saving your life if they have attended one of the many defibrillator and resuscitation courses on offer locally. Contact HART to discover times and locations. Finally, you can encourage your companion to do some relevant reading. Fulking The Fulking defibrillator is in the centre of the village. The red door to the right is the entrance to the green corrugated iron shack that has served as the village hall for the last ninety years. The porch to the left is the entrance to a tiny brick chapel now used as the church bookstore. The defibrillator is in this porch and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Edburton The Edburton defibrillator is located at Coles Automotive which is at the end of Browns Meadow, a track that begins roughly opposite to Springs Smoked Salmon. It is kept in their reception area and is thus only accessible during garage opening hours. Poynings: The Forge Garage Poynings has two defibrillators.

  • Devil's Dyke Near Brighton Is One of the Great Attractions of the South Downs and Families Come in Their Thousands to Take a Snack and a Drink and a Stroll
    point your feet on a new path The Devil’s Dyke Distance: 18 km=11 miles or 12½ km=7½ miles or 9 km=5½ miles moderate walking Region: West Sussex Date written: 3-jul-2014 Author: Hautboy Last update: 4-jun-2021 Refreshments: Devil’s Dyke, Fulking, Poynings Map: Explorer 122 (Steyning) but the maps 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. High hills, views, woodland, villages, pubs In Brief The Devil's Dyke near Brighton is one of the great attractions of the South Downs and families come in their thousands to take a snack and a drink and a stroll. Very few go much further along the Downs as on this walk. The Devil's Dyke pub is not bad, but the very best inns are to be found in the picturesque villages at the foot of the Downs visited on this walk. (To enquire at the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking, ring 01273 857382. For the Royal Oak in Poynings, ring 01273 857389.) This walk has two shorter options. The short walk (9 km=5½ miles) takes a path soon after the Devil's Dyke directly down to the Shepherd and Dog in Fulking. The middle walk (12½ km=7½ miles) takes a short cut to Edburton. Only the full walk gives you some really stunning views west- wards over the Adur valley which you would miss on the shorter walks.

  • Fulking Is a Small, Compact Village Situated Under the Lee of the South Downs in the Heart of the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
    Mid Sussex Local Plan May 2004 Introduction 26.1 Fulking is a small, compact village situated under the lee of the South Downs in the heart of the Sussex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a relatively remote village being about 4.5 miles from Hurstpierpoint, Henfield and Upper Beeding. 26.2 The focal point of the village is The Street where most of the dwellings are located. Leading off from The Street are the village’s two other roads, Clappers Lane and Stammers Hill. These are largely 20th century extensions to the settlement. The Street is much older in origin with many of the buildings listed, a significant number dating from the 17th century. Fulking has facilities which include a recreation ground, equipped children’s play area, church, church hall, pub and a pre-school playgroup. Policies and Proposals Built-up Area Boundary 26.3 A built-up area boundary is defined for Fulking in order to conserve the rural setting of the village and to protect the surrounding countryside from unnecessary development. Conservation Area 26.4 In April 1984 the Council designated the area enclosing The Street as a Conservation Area in recognition of its special character and appearance. 26.5 The buildings vary in age and style. In The Street many predate the 20th century with a significant number of 17th century origin. Several of the buildings are listed. These include a number of timber framed dwellings and also a number with thatched roofs and brightly painted walls. 26.6 The following features, in particular, contribute to the character

  • Walks & Strolls
    WALKS & STROLLS AUGUST - OCTOBER 2018 Dear Members, British Summer Time continues throughout this programme, so let’s use the long days to enjoy our walking and travelling. After a late start, early summer has been beautifully green, so we hope to see full harvests in due course. With our varied weather, plants and animals on the Downs have much to cope with each year and it’s interesting to see how they are affected. You’ll notice this time that several Saturdays do not have any of the longer walks. Several Saturday walks leaders have had health and/or age issues lately! They have mostly been covered by strolls on these days, which are particularly welcome. Thinking about strolls, sadly Peter Harris has found it necessary to say farewell as a strolls leader. We are most grateful for his contribution over the years, especially for his entertaining themed strolls, and hope we shall still see him out strolling from time to time. All your walk offers are valuable but arranging them suitably is not always easy. The same areas do seem to cluster. So it’s worked out that lunch at Burpham is popular - in successive walks. However they do cover quite different ground. And if some people had not been able to swap there would have been three. Let’s just call it “Love Burpham Week”! In general we are down on number of walks leaders. Ideally all walkers would take part in leading so there would be a large enough pool of leaders to cope with temporary unavailability.

  • Reserve News April 2018
    Reserve News April 2018 Signs of spring - Blackcaps and chiffchaffs are out in force singing. Wild daffodils at West Dean woods have made a good show, but bluebells have been slow to come into flower this year, but will be looking good by the end of the month. Barry Lindfield, a lovely regular volunteer for Tuesday hit squad for the past twelve years has stepped down from active duties. We would like to thank him, and all our other long-serving volunteers, for their help over the years. A new volunteer Sunday group at Ditchling Beacon has made a good start with scrub removal and they are trialling the best method for using new tree poppers on steep slopes. An accidental heathland burn at Iping Common at the end of February, caused by a scrub-burning fire which got out of control, has generated some local and well-publicised concerns. SWT are reviewing the procedures for managing bonfires on the reserves and will ensure that best practice will be followed in the future, especially important at this difficult time of year. Despite the initial visual impact, the outcome of the burn has also been positive, as much of the burnt area will now regenerate with fresh growth and improve the habitat for many years to come. Looking to volunteer with us? Please check the web site to find out where we are currently look for volunteers to get involved and then register your interest by completing our registration form, specifying which reserve or project you are interested in https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/get- involved/volunteer/volunteer-registration-form If you would like an informal chat about what is happening locally and how you could get involved at your local reserve please contact the reserve or project lead listed below.
