Walk Description:

Our walk starts and finishes at Lewes Station. (though if you are travelling by car you could go straight to Southease Station).

After arrival at Lewes Station from London we will take the local train departing at 11.00 am, one stop to Southease.  On leaving the station we walk along the River Ouse before turning off towards the village of Rodmell, passing Monk's House, home of Virginia Woolf.  Half way through the walk we have a steady climb up onto the Downs and then follow the South Downs Way downhill to the pretty village of Southease and the station.  The return train to Lewes is at 14.05.

Key sights

Our longer Explorer WALX are open to all, exploring beautiful areas in and around London. Routes are planned with breaks and the opportunity for refreshments but this isn't just a ramble; we'll encourage the good posture and motivation to push yourself as we do in all our WALX.

If you'd like to benefit from using Nordic walking poles, we advise you attend a Learn to Nordic WALX workshop. Walkers without poles or with trekking poles are very welcome.

Monthly Payment clients £10; Pre-paid Credit clients £16 - price adjusted at payment.

Time: Meet at Lewes Station ready to catch the 11.00 am train to Southease
