View of South Downs from Duncton Hill

Highlight • Parking

A good climb if approaching from the North, much easier approaching from the South.

View from Duncton Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a long climb out of Duncton village, which at about 10% isn’t particularly steep, but it keeps on going. It levels off for a bit before the right hand bend approaching the Dye House Lane junction but then its back on it.

The views back north from the top are particularly impressive and make the climb worthwhile. The A285 can get quite busy, but it is wide enough for sensible motorists to overtake safely.

West Sussex Lanes

Highlight • Trail

The quiet lanes of the northern most part of the South Downs around the small amiable towns of Haslemere, Midhurst and Petworth are an absolute dream for cycling. The villages of Kirdford and Plaistow offer great refreshments

St James' Church, Heyshott

Highlight • Religious Site

A friendly local pub with spectacular views of the South Downs that serves a great Sunday roasts with old school desserts like treacle tart and ice cream.

Cocking Village Shop

Highlight • Settlement

Cocking is a quaint little village nestled right at the bottom of the South downs. Its a perfect village to refuel and stock up on snacks before heading up onto the hills.

The Fox Goes Free Inn

Highlight • Historical Site

Far from a standard British pub name, the Fox Goes Free is a great establishment in the little village of Charlton in West Sussex at the foot of Levin Down. Here they offer both food, drinks and rooms, all within the walls of this four hundred year old Inn.

Did you know that the Fox Goes Free hosted the first ever English Women's Institute meeting in 1915? The organisation was actually formed in Canada in 1897 and brought here via Anglesey in Wales.

East Dean Village Green and Pond

Highlight • Lake

Nestled on the outskirts of Chichester, between the villages of Singleton and Upwaltham, the pretty village of East Dean lies in the scenic Upper Lavant Valley of the South Downs.

This quaint settlement, steeped in history with traces of Celtic fields and Roman artifacts, has a timeless charm. It features a pond on the village green and a distinctive flint-walled pub called The Star and Garter.

Surprisingly, despite its small size, East Dean proudly hosts a football team, a local institution founded over 130 years ago, competing in the West Sussex league.
