Cissbury Ring walk

Our shortest Cissbury Ring walk is 2.5 miles long and takes you on a wander around the historic Iron Age hill fort where you can enjoy the history and lovely views.

If you are looking for a longer, more energetic walk, then the second route is a 4.25 hike which includes the Cissbury Ring fort but also explores more of the surrounding South Downs hills and countryside.

Walk number three is an extended version of the first two walks and includes more hills, some woodland, more great views and a trek across Tennants hill. You will need plenty of energy for this route.

The final Cissbury Ring walk is a full on 9.25 mile adventure that includes everything from the previous walks but also heads north across the South Downs countryside to join part the Monarch's Way. As this is a long and strenuous route, please take plenty of food and water and the appropriate equipment.
