Set in the gently undulating Sussex Weald, the walks around Plaistow offer a peaceful mix of woodland paths and open countryside.

These walks are a relaxed way to explore this part of West Sussex, with quiet lanes, leafy stretches, and soft rural views throughout.

The shorter route forms a gentle loop out to Limekiln Wood before returning to the village, while the longer option continues further through Roundwick Copse and surrounding farmland.

Both routes finish with the welcome option of refreshments at the Corner Village Café or The Sun Inn, making these walks as sociable as they are scenic.
