Overview

This is our first joint walk with Refugee Tales.

Please note 10:30 start time.

We walk from Hassocks up to The Downs to Jack and Jill Mills and along the top to Ditchling Beacon. We come down through Westmeston and we will stop in the pretty village of Ditchling for our lunch break. We walk along to Oldland Mill and through the edge of Keymer before returning to the station.

Potential for views if it’s a clear day, hoping for some spring flowers in this area of National Landscapes.

Please bring a snack and a picnic for lunch.

Rambler’s members please text the leader if you plan to join this walk.
