The bridleway that climbs up from Castle Town to join the South Down's Way below Beeding Hill provides fantastic views across the weald. Look out for the remnants of ancient cultivation ditches just downhill of the path.

The remains of this Norman castle are perched on a high natural knoll overlooking the River Adur, defending a gap in the South Downs. Built soon after the Norman Conquest to help protect William I’s newly won territories, the castle was the Sussex seat of the de Braose family.

A 'Sixpath' or a crossing of six footpaths sits on the Monarch's Way high above Shoreham On Sea. It literally joins and provides access to all of the local hiking routes. With commanding views you can see far out over the South Downs National Park and out into the English Channel. There is even a bench to enjoy it from. Apart from that it's not a bad spot!

The Downs Link is a beautiful long-distance route for walkers, horse riders, and cyclists that follows two disused railway lines. It crosses the Surrey Hills, the Low Weald, the South Downs, and the Coastal Plain. Since the trains departed in the 1960s, the embankments and cuttings have become a green corridor for wildlife and people.
