These walks from the village of Burpham offer something for every level of walker.

Lovely walk just mind the nettles if you struggle with steps make sure you walk clockwise
Very fun walk, when wet wear wellies. Beautiful church, beautiful views and a great pub to finish.
We picked a perfect winter’s day to walk. We wanted an easy level walk as my parents were with us. First half is perfect but it does get slightly harder going through woodland paths and then up some woodland type steps. It wasn’t really a problem just a few stop breaks. Only takes roughly an hour total. Looks like a lovely pub at start/finish but we didn’t go in this time. Note car park is small and was jammed when we returned but was Sunday afternoon. Very enjoyable.

This second route is not too long in terms of distance, but you'll need some energy in the tank as it takes you north out of the village and climbs to the summit of Perry Hill.
The effort will be worth it though when you get to enjoy the lovely views and then visit the village pub after your walk.

This final route is a much longer route from the village of Burpham and it's one for those of you that really want to stretch your legs and have an epic adventure in the downs before getting back to the pub for your reward.
The walk heads north from the village and then enjoys a glorious section of the South Downs Way that takes you over Rachham Hill and Springhead Hill. Go prepared for an energetic walk with wonderful views!
