Our trail takes us across the South Downs along elevated tracks with superb far reaching views and both into and then across the tops of the chalk valleys. It’s quite a varied route with sections of woodland and for much of the time we will be high up on the South Downs Hills offering far reaching views. On our route the sea slowly gets closer until we finally hit the beach at the coastal town of Shoreham by Sea.
Highlights:
• Hike in the South Downs - one of the best National Parks in the South of England
• Visit the remains of a Bronze Age hill fort
• Hike along the ancient Devil's Dyke valley
• Enjoy stunning coastal views as we approach our destination by the sea
• Explore the adorable historical town and beach of Shoreham on Sea
Along our trail we visit the remains of the ancient Wolstonbury Hill Fort hill fort dating back around 3000 years to the Bronze Age - the Late Neolithic period.
TOUGHNESS - please note, this is not a hike for beginners or for anyone who has not been hiking regularly recently. The total ascent today is 600/650m (twice the height of the Shard), if the idea of walking up the Shard twice does not appeal, then this hilly hike is not the hike for you.
