Walk Description:

Our walk starts and finishes at Lewes Station taking us to the village of Glynde and returning via Mount Caburn.  For those wanting a shorter walk it is possible after 3 miles to catch the train from Glynde back to Lewes.

We start with a steep but short climb out of Lewes and follow our route across the golf course.  The views start to appear very soon as we walk along the ridge and then descend towards Glynde.  A steady climb out of Glynde leads us to the high point of Mount Caburn for great views all around, and then we return mostly downhill to Lewes. 

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.
