Overview

A circular walk starting at Falmer Pond and heading out over the hills towards Lewes, turning at the top to make our way to Black Cap before descending to Plumton for a picnic lunch. After lunch its back up to the SDW and on towards Ditchling Beacon and then back to Falmer via Stanmer Down.

The walk starts from Falmer Pond where there is plenty of parking.  Also a short walk from Falmer railway station and buses from the university campus.  About a 15 minute walk from the university to Falmer Pond.
