The South Downs stretch in a 100-mile arc between Eastbourne in East Sussex and Winchester in Hampshire. With some of the most iconic landscapes in southern England, including the white chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters, walking in the South Down National Park proves a delightful experience mile after mile.

The challenge for the author, Kev Reynolds was choosing just 40 routes to represent the essential beauty of the South Downs, such is the quality of walking to be had here on England's south coast. Each walk is circular, and where possible beginning and ending at a place accessible by public transport.

The South Downs became England’s 10th National Park in 2011.

  • 40 walks suitable for all ages and abilities
  • romantic villages and prehistoric sites provide plenty to fire the imagination and captivate the interest
