When planning this walk in order to sample the Downs to the east of the Adur gap, I wasn't convinced it would be up to the mark! How wrong could I be? It's a wonderful walk, with varying interest and views all the way from start to finish. It also splits conveniently into two shorter walks by means of the South Downs Way SDW. Even the drive to the start is a scenic revelation. We start from Beeding Hill to Thundersbarrow Hill, an Iron Age settlement, before turning north up a peaceful valley to cross the SDW. Descending a stunning terraced track overlooking Edburton, we cross the Weald to South Tottington Farm, returning towards the Downs through a wood for a steep climb back, finishing on a beautiful footpath round a valley rim. Rating 4. Time 3h 40m. Distance 14.6kms. Ascents 430m. Descents 430m. Route Circular. Refreshments 3.
