Elsted and Wild Combe Camping

A small and peaceful south downs village, a traditional country pub, far-reaching views and an off grid campsite. This corner of West Sussex near Midhurst is an absolute gem!

East Dean

East Dean is a peaceful West Sussex village with pretty flint cottages surrounding a village duck pond and green. Our walk climbs through woodland, passing a surprising totem pole. Children will enjoy visiting the milkshake vending machine at a nearby dairy farm.

Houghton Bridge and The River Arun

Follow the gentle meanders of The River Arun around pretty Sussex villages with chalk escarpments, rolling farmland and downland ridges as a backdrop. Complete the walk with refreshments at the riverside pub or tearooms or a visit to Amberley musuem.

Halnaker Windmill

Photographers come from far and wide to see the famous tree tunnel at Halnaker, near Chichester, in its Autumn glory. But this is a walk for all seasons with an atmospheric ruin, vineyards and a hilltop windmill to see along the way.
