Overview

Train walk. A long but varied walk  up to Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve where we make a full traverse of these ancient yew woods and take apicnic lunch before visiting The Devil's Jumps. Using  the Monarch's Way we descend gradually down to West Dean for a tea break. The walk can be ended here, using the half hourly 60 bus service from West Dean, or can continue along a beautiful section by the  River Lavant before ending in Chichester, an extra 4 miles.  Assistance dogs only.
