Walk information

Charleston House walks


The first walk is a short family-friendly stroll around the countryside surrounding Charleston House. You can visit the house itself for a small fee (check their website charleston.org.uk for details) but the walking is free! This short walk offers open countryside and lovely views over the South Downs.

The second route option is a longer walk from Charleston house. The loop heads west until it reaches the lovely Firle Park and the village of Firle itself. There is then a small detour into the village to find a lovely pub if you want to make this a pub walk.

The third route option is a longer walk and this loop heads east from the Charleston House area to explore more lovely countryside. This walk also visits the small villages of Alciston and Berwick, where there is a small detour to a wonderful pub for refreshments.

The final route option is the longest walk from Charleston House and it is the option for you if you have plenty of time and energy and want an epic adventure in this lovely area of East Sussex countryside. The walk effectively joins together the second and third routes to create a long walk that visits Firle Park, the villages of Firle and Berwick with their lovely pubs to visit.
