Overview

We park by the school then head off west through Singleton, crossing the A286 and heading over the disused railway to Colworth Down.  At Steeple Ash farm we start a gradual ascent to the SDW, where we turn right for Cocking.  We continue on the SDW up to Heyshott Down, then turn south through Charlton Forest and over Levin Down back to Singleton. 

Please book with the leader.

This walk may be slippery and muddy.
