Walk Description:

Join us for a wonderful walk around Cissbury Ring, one of the most spectacular locations on the South Downs, with beautiful countryside, fresh air and fantastic views.

We’ll start with a steady climb to get the heart and lungs working, but the effort is well worth it. Once at the top, we’ll be rewarded with sweeping views across the South Coast. On a clear day, you can see for miles, making it a lovely place to pause and take in the scenery.

If we’re lucky, we may even spot the wild ponies that graze around Cissbury Ring.

This is a great walk for building your fitness and improving your confidence on hills. We can accommodate different walking speeds while keeping the group together, with opportunities for faster walkers to stretch themselves and work a little harder along the way.

The paths are generally good, although some sections can become slippery in wet conditions, so please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip.

A fantastic walk, spectacular scenery and the company of a friendly group.

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.
