Overview

Leaving Wivelsfield along the Sussex Border Path we head towards the Downs.This walk provides some  shade walking through West Wood and Blackbrook Wood.

We stop for lunch in Ditchling before returning towards Ditchling Common. 
We have done virtually this walk before at Bluebell time. Some lovely scenery and we pass through vineyards, woodland and common. This is the flat section of the route and the steep section is yet to come. Butterflies, dragonflies, sheep, horses and chickens today.
