Walking in South West Sussex

With the city of Chichester at its heart, the South West Sussex Group offers a range of Group Walks in terms of distance, pace and difficulty, taking in the South Downs National  Park and coastal areas between the River Arun to the east and the Hampshire border to the west, all led by our team of walk leaders boasting a wealth of knowledge and experience of the area. We have moved away from the formality of three programmes a year with up to three walks per week, now adopting a more flexible approach of a monthly rolling programme taking in any of the days in the week. All our walks are published in advance on the Group Website.

We are so very fortunate in this part of England that we have such a variety of walking opportunities available. The rolling Sussex Downs with fields, forests, heathland, and rivers coming down to the coastal areas of Chichester Harbour and the Manhood Peninsular.  The King Charles III England Coast Path is now established through our patch acknowledging the importance of active walking in the area.
