Sussex Walks
These walks explore the scenic Slindon Estate in the South Downs National Park, offering a mix of open countryside, woodland, and historic features.
The shorter route takes you through rolling fields and a steep climb into Nore Wood, where you can enjoy views from the Nore Folly gateway.
The longer option extends north to Great Down and follows the Roman Road along Monarch’s Way, creating a more challenging but rewarding circular route through the hills.

Walk information
This is a wonderful walk around the beautiful Slindon Estate in the South Downs national park.
If you head anticlockwise, you can expect some lovely open countryside walking followed by a steep and energetic climb up into Nore Wood.
When you emerge from the woodland, you'll find the intriguing Nore Folly gateway structure and some wonderful views to enjoy.
Walk information
This second route option is basically a longer extended version of the first route.
You'll still enjoy the views, Nore Folly and woodland from the first route, but you'll also head further north, walking around the Great Down and joining up with the Roman Road on Monarch's Way for a long walk back to Nore wood.
This is a hilly area and a long walk, so please go prepared with plenty of energy.

First-hand experiences
A couple of junctions were tricky as lots of pathways and GPS wasnt great in those areas, but otherwise, a lovely walk
