The walk

Loxwood Walk

This is a lovely short family-friendly pub walk from a delightful canal-side pub.

The walk is only short, but it packs in some woodland, some open countryside and of course a long stroll alongside the Way and Arun canal.

It can get muddy in the woodland section after wet weather, so please wear the appropriate footwear.

Walker review

Great family walk, we had a blast. Loved seeing the animals along the way especially the pot belly pigs. Would recommend in the summer as our wintery Valentines walk today was rather muddy.

Walker review

Really enjoyed this walk however it is a mile longer than stated. Its 3.5 miles rather than 2.5 as stated. That said our dog and 3 children managed the walk woth no issue

Walker review

Nice walk along the canal and through woodland and open countryside. Canal path can get very busy during nice weather.

Walker review

Really nice walk but the part through the woods was very water logged and muddy so we turned back.

Walker review

We loved it! Lovely, easy going country stroll. Beautiful scenery. We will be back.

Walker review
