Overview

No dogs please - only assistance dogs if required.

Start close to Braypool Snack Van/Hot Stuff in Braypool Lane just NE of junction with A27.

Walk a short distance eastwards along ST GABRIEL'S LANE then turn left to join the grassy Sussex Border Path which climbs steadily northwards to the Chattri Memorial. After a brief stop at the memorial, we continue climbing northwards on the Sussex Border Path (parts of the path could be quite muddy) until we reach the top of the downs and join the East / West path from Ditchling Beacon. We turn left here and follow the path to the Jack & Jill Windmills. We stop here for a break - very good views. We retrace our path for a short distance then turn right to New Barn Farm eventually rejoining the path from the Chattri Memorial. We then retrace our steps downhill past Chattri Memorial to the start - good views most of the way.

 

Walk could be very muddy in places and there are likely to be sheep and cattle grazing in the fields. Good footwear and sticks advised.
