Hiking The South Downs Way

Walkers On The South Downs Way


The South Downs Way is one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales. It is a long distance footpath and bridleway running in southern England.

Most of it is on the high chalk downland of the Hampshire Downs and the South Downs.

The easternmost section is on high chalk cliffs.

It runs from Winchester in Hampshire, the first capital of England, for 100 miles (160 km) to the white chalk cliffs at Eastbourne in East Sussex. It has about 13,620 ft (4,150 m) of ascent and descent.

This photograph of two walkers was taken at the back of a car park on the South Downs on the road to Devil's Dyke.

Along the South Downs Way you will experience attractive wildlife, prehistory such as the chalk Long Man of Wilmington and Chanctonbury Ring, inviting pubs and pretty villages.

As if that wasn't enough you will also see beautiful vista after beautiful vista such as this one which includes a stunning windswept tree. 😁

Wow, this place seem to be amazing, nice pics! :-)

Glad you like it @enhcng. 😁

Looks like a great place for hiking i love that old style fence

Yep. There are some very nice fences in this part of the world @tattoodjay. Walls too! 😁

I love being out in the country where fences and walls add character to a scene and nit as they often do in more urban areas detract from it
