Overview

This is a varied walk covering both stunning heathland managed by Sussex Wildlife Trust and wonderful meadows up on the Downs, managed by the Graffham Down Trust. We begin by winding our way along the Serpent Trail over Ambersham, Graffham and Lavington Commons; then passing the village shop in Graffham (where refreshments could be purchased). Then we ascend the South Downs, looping past Seaford College to allow for a slightly easier ascent. From thereon it is easy walking on paths alongside the South Downs Way, where we shall pause for our picnic, before dropping down to Heyshott for a well earnt drink at the Unicorn Inn, before a final 2 mile stretch on the level.  1041' of ascent

Ambersham Common CP, best approached by turning south off A272 at Halfway Bridge to Selham (which is not the way Google maps would direct you). In Selham turn right to South Ambersham and then left towards Hoyle, CP then on left. Contact leader in advance if guidance needed, or if you can either offer or wish to take up car sharing.
