Walks In The South Downs National Park

In April 2011 the South Downs became Britain’s latest national park, a long overdue designation for one of the best-loved landscapes of Southern England. Stretching from Beachy Head near Eastbourne to
St Catherine’s Hill overlooking the River Itchen at Winchester, it’s a generous land characterised by skylarks, cowslips, poppies and sheep. And cropped rolling hills. ‘
Hills roll on after hills,’ said Richard Jefferies, ‘till the last and largest hides those that succeed behind it.’ Anyone who loves open space, an unchecked breeze and a long view will find the Downs rewarding.

With 40 of the best routes described, Walks in the South Downs National Park take you along great chalk cliffs that plunge into the surf, across treeless grassland with not a building in sight, beside meandering rivers and through some of the most exquisite villages in all England. Ancient long barrows, hillforts and a stretch of Roman road bring history alive, while ramblers with an eye for wild flowers and an ear for birdsong, will be in seventh heaven.

The South Downs seduce me back time and again, and every hour spent walking its paths is an hour worth celebrating.

Walkers who enjoy the challenge of a multi-day route, have numerous long distance paths to follow. A handful of these have ‘National Trail’ status, but there are also several recreational paths devised by unofficial bodies that lead through some exciting countryside. The following three guide books suggest a few worth considering: The South Downs Way,
The North Downs Way
and
The Cotswold Way.
