Chanctonbury Ring

If you are looking for a short but strenuous walk with great views then the first walk on the app is for you. The 2.5 mile walk will take you through woodland, along part of the South Downs Way and to the Chanctonbury Ring Iron Age hill fort.

If you would prefer to venture a little further, the second walk includes more woodland and takes you to a village called Washington where you can find a pub. This walk also takes you along the South downs Way and like the first route, you will need plenty of energy for the hill climbs.

The third strenuous 5 mile walk is for those of you who really want to expel some energy. This walk includes Chanctonbury Ring and the woodland like the first walk but explores much more of the downs and rewards you with lovely views. There are no places for refreshments on this walk so please go prepared for an energetic hilly walk.

The longest Chanctonbury Ring walk in an extension of the previous route and also takes you along the Monarch's way. This walk is a long 8.75 mile trek with lots of hills and wonderful views all around. Like before, there are no places for refreshments so please be prepared with plenty of food, water and appropriate equipment.
