We are the South West Sussex Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting from the Community Centre we head down Church Lane to St Marys Church the cut across the fields along the Barnham Link. We cross over the Lidsey Rife with stunning views of Goodwood and the Trundle over our shoulders. We take the footpath through the farmland and across the footbridge over Ryebank Rife and down Drove Lane towards Yapton. Here is where the history starts as we turn left just before hitting the main road and follow the edge of the defunct canal that ran between Chichester and Arundel. At the site of the old swing bridge we turn right and make our way back to the Community Centre for a "Cream Tea" event.
Very flat terrain but there are 4 stiles to negotiate.
Only a short stop 1/2 way round for a quick drink as there will be plenty goodies awaiting us at the Centre on return.
Barnham Community Hall Yapton Rd, Barnham, Bognor Regis PO22 0AY. Bus service stops right outside of Hall. Train station 2 mins walk.
