Although I do plan to walk the entire length of the path I have walked along many sections at various times. Most recently I walked circular routes from Harting, Fulking, Pyecombe, Upper Beeding in West Sussex as well as from Wilmington, Alciston and Firle in East Sussex. All sections have provided climbs up to spectacular views both South towards the sea and North across the Weald. Whichever section you choose you will experience some taxing climbs from sea level in the river valleys and some great viewpoints. It can be a cheap day out if you find a sensible place to leave your car and avoid some of the busy official car parks. Public transport to various jump off points is possible but a little limited in some sections.

I regularly cycle along various parts of this fantastic old railway line and yesterday I travelled the entire length which was amazing. Mostly flat with a steep and confusing stretch between Rudgwick and Cranleigh and from this point forth going North it became apparent that the signage, which had been excellent throughout the Sussex stretch, was now very poor and where existent was largely unmaintained. This made it a little more difficult to ensure I was on the right track and the directions around Cranleigh were almost non existent. This aside the route takes one through some amazing English countryside on what is an easy and pleasant bridle-path. Normally there's loads of places to stop for snacks etc but due to lock-down these were largely all closed down. Only exception is the Old Railway pub (formerly the Cat & Canary) in Henfield that has set up an outdoor takeaway facility in their large beer garden which is open 7 days a week. Excellent service in a lovely spot.

St Botolph's is a lovely little secret hidden in the South Downs but worth seeking out during the daylight hours. Beware that the door locks automatically around 5pm or at dusk and once you leave it won't open again - don't leave your belongings in the church as you will have to wait until the next day to retrieve them! Photogenic and atmospheric inside the church has information relating to it's history, one or two things for sale such as lovely cards of the church and local area.

A wonderful museum with well executed special displays which are changed regularly. The permanent exhibitions are fascinating and extensive. There is a lovely garden and the museum is located in a beautiful period house in The Causeway. We have spent many enjoyable hours here on our regular visits from Leatherhead and have found the staff to be unerring helpful, as well as knowledgeable.

given the current problems the inn has changed to offering take-away menu. You telephone with your order (see the menu online) and are given a time slot (one every ten minutes to facilitate social distancing). I ordered the Hunter Chicken and my partner the salmon in pink peppercorn sauce. Both have been excellent. They are served in a cardboard box that was sufficient to keep it hot for the drive home. Cannot fault the food or service.
