Walk Description:

Join us for one of our favourite local walks, starting from the picturesque village of Stoughton and exploring the beautiful countryside and ancient woodland of Kingley Vale.

This wonderful National Nature Reserve is famous for its remarkable ancient yew trees, peaceful woodland and spectacular views across the South Downs.

Our route takes us through a lovely mixture of woodland and open countryside, with some hills along the way to get the heart and lungs working. The varied terrain makes this a great walk for keeping active, building your fitness and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

There will be opportunities to stretch yourself on the climbs, while our walk leaders will ensure everyone stays together and has time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

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

A fantastic walk combining ancient woodland, beautiful countryside, rewarding climbs 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.
