This collection of 20 tried-and-tested circular walks has
been written specifically for dogs and their owners, allowing for
maximum off-lead time.
With its ancient woodland, river valleys and rolling hillsides, the
South Downs, spanning the southern coastal counties of Hampshire and
Sussex, is a dog-walker’s delight.
These routes, covering the west and central part of the South Downs
National Park, will allow you to explore somewhere new, safe in the
knowledge that the surroundings will be suitable for your dog.
Explore the area’s extensive footpaths and tracks including parts of
the famous Pilgrims’ Way, Wayfarer’s Walk and the Serpent Trail, and
take in the glorious views from Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and
Black Down, the area’s highest point. Your dog will also love the
freedom of the woodland around Flexham Park, Chapel Common and Eartham
Wood.
All the walks include details of:
