The walk

Graffham Walk

This is a lovely, but strenuous, pub walk from the pretty West Sussex village of Graffham.

The walk basically climbs up the steep Graffham Down where you then join the South Downs Way for a while and enjoy some fantastic views.

It then works it's way back down hill to the village where you'll find a lovely pub for your post-walk reward.

Walker review

The steep inclines were very taxing and at times the path was practically non existant which made for a scary ascent! I would not recommend taking a dog. The rest of the route was as described and pub was a delight.
