Highlights include:

• Walking through the stunning South Downs National Park with beautiful countryside and long views over the Solent to the Isle of Wight.

• Exploring ancient church buildings, all dedicated to St Mary, from the simple remote single celled church at North Marden to the grandeur of the Lady Chapel at Chichester Cathedral; the ancient priory church of Portchester nestling within the walls of the Roman castle, the Saxon minster at Singleton and with the Norman gems of Droxford, Buriton, South Harting and East Lavant in-between. 

• Visiting Portchester Castle, the Royal Armoury, The Sustainability Centre, Queen Elizabeth Country Park and the Iron Age hill top forts of Old Winchester Hill and The Trundle.

• Small country villages with hospital pubs.

• Exploring the medieval mindset; why were elements of the interior church architecture first created and subsequently destroyed at the Reformation.

• Each day is a moderately difficult walk of between 10 and 13 miles, but gives time to both exercise the physical body and intellect; time to improve fitness whilst stimulating the mind through reflection, observation and appreciation.

• Includes detailed walking instructions and maps throughout. 
• Each day ends near a country pub providing excellent food and accommodation, with plenty of refreshment stops in between.
