Years of experience have gone into a new walking guide to the Downs
- a book which fills its author with confidence. Of the 42 walks,
21 are within the West Sussex area, the area to the north of
Chichester being a particular favourite of Martin's. Ten years of
walking the Downs has gone into this book. Every walk has an
element of wow! factor, many using paths that don't appear in other
guides. It really is the Rolls Royce of South Downs walking. --West
Sussex Gazette. Book Description A staggeringly beautiful and
varied landscape, changing with the seasons, the South Downs offers
formidable scarp slopes, towering cliffs, flowing contours, river
valleys, and a wealth of woodland. Rich in history: prehistoric
burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts, ancient tucked away churches,
attractive villages and inns, all set in a backdrop of rolling
undulating hills. With challenging climbs, the rewards are, at
times, jaw-dropping! Nearly 2000 miles of footpaths and bridleways
crisscross the Downs, as well as new paths across access land and
nature reserves, stretching the 80 miles from Eastbourne to
Winchester. On many of the walks you may hardly see a soul, for
despite the proximity of large populations, getting away from it
all is a welcome reality. All 42 walking routes include: walking
route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance Ascents/Descents
Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed walk description
including frequent timings to aid navigation and check your
progress, GPS waypoints at every key point on every route, full
colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey licenced mapping for each
route, short walk and stroll alternatives.
