Walk Description:

A lovely walk amongst the lovely woodland Walk from Eartham.

Starting at Eartham Woods Car Park , we will walk a new route suggested by and led by Rebecca.

Linking the more familiar paths of Stane St and around Gumber Farm, this walk adds in lesser known routes through the new plantations of North Woods up to Littlewood lookout.   A good variety of trees, a Roman road, 21st century re-plantings, and Bronze age field boundaries are all in the mix. Allow 1 and 3/4hrs - 2hrs depending on the pace of the group and time to enjoy the views.  7.33 Km (4 1/2 miles) with some hills.

Coffee at the Weald and Downland or Goodwood Aerodrome

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
