Set in the gentle countryside of Sussex, these walks around the village of Chiddingly offer a relaxed way to explore quiet lanes, woodland paths, and charming rural scenery.

The shorter option takes you on a pleasant wander through the village, past fields and woodland, and over to nearby Muddles Green before returning for a well-earned pub stop in Chiddingly.

For those wanting a longer outing, the second of these walks ventures further into the surrounding countryside along well-known trails including the Vanguard Way and the Wealdway.

Along the way you’ll pass through peaceful farmland and woodland, climb up to Gun Hill for a welcome pub break, and enjoy a rewarding day out in the beautiful Sussex landscape.
