Overview

A 12 mile circular walk starting from the Hassocks Hotel, we then walk along the side of the railway before heading up to Jack and Jill Windmills. Then towards Lower Standean before climbing back up and to Stanmer Village, where we will stop for lunch. 

We then head off to Heathy Brow and then Ditchling Beacon where we turn left on the South Downs path, before heading back down to Keymer and Hassocks.

Catch the 10:09 train from Brighton station which arrives at Hassocks at 10:17.  After leaving the train, go under the platform to the other side (east) of the station to Hassocks Hotel by the edge of the station car park.
