Centurion Way: Chichester to Lavant

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The Centurion Way is a popular walking and cycling path running from Chichester to West Dean.

It follows the route of the former Chichester to Midhurst railway line and the path is named after the Roman centurions who once walked these lands during the Roman occupation of Britain.

The section between Chichester and Lavant passes through a beautiful open space and is dotted with interesting sculptures and welcoming picnic areas. The terrain is tarmac throughout and there's a gentle south to north incline.

View of Sussex Countryside from Dew Pond

Highlight • Natural Monument

Scenic viewpoint with a bench next to a dew pond overlooking the Sussex countryside towards the east.

The construction of dew ponds began in the South Downs during the 11th century, when traditional water sources such as streams and wells were not readily available. They provide a vital source of water for grazing livestock, particularly during the summer months when streams and other water sources may dry up.

Fantastic well-surfaced gravel track running along the fringes of Kingley Vale Nature Reserve. A long climb from south to north but worth it for the views. There's a bench by the dew pond at the top.
