Walk information
This first route is just a simple short walk to the top of Harting Hill in the Downs where you can expect some lovely views.
The car park is already quite high up the hill, so there is not too much climbing involved, but there is still a bit to climb so be prepared for a mild workout.
Walk information
The second route is a longer and much more strenuous walk around the whole Harting Downs area.
Heading clockwise, you'll climb Harting Hill as in the first walk, but then you'll head further east along a glorious path until you reach Beacon Hill with it's breathtaking panoramic views to enjoy.
The walk then heads back on a winding loop through a glorious valley and then back over Harting Hill again, making this an energetic but rewarding walk.
