Walk Description:

Join us for a wonderful walk through Kingley Vale, a long-standing favourite with our members and one of the most beautiful places to explore in the South Downs.

Starting from Kingley Vale Car Park, we’ll make our way through this stunning nature reserve, enjoying the peaceful woodland and beautiful countryside before heading up towards the higher ground, where we’ll be rewarded with fantastic views.

There are some good climbs along the way, making this a great walk for getting the heart and lungs working while enjoying the fresh air and company of the group.

The exact route may vary depending on the weather and conditions underfoot, giving us the opportunity to explore different paths and enjoy a slightly different walk each time.

Our leaders will keep the group together, with opportunities for those who want an extra challenge to work a little harder along the way.

Please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip, as some paths can be uneven or slippery after rain.

After the walk, there’s the opportunity for a well-earned coffee and a chat.

A fantastic walk if you enjoy a few hills, spectacular views and exploring the beautiful Sussex countryside with 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.
