Trekking the South Downs Way

Two Way Trekking Guide

The South Downs Way leads you on a wonderful journey of discovery through the magnificent chalk hills of Sussex and Hampshire.

It travels the length of the South Downs National Park, across wonderful hills and meadows bedecked with wild-flowers, through endless fields of shimmering golden corn and along the edge of the epic white cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head. It is one of England's official 'National Trails' and is an unforgettable experience.
