The walk

Treyford Hill Walk

This is a lovely, but strenuous, walk to the top of Treyford Hill in the South Downs national park.

Heading clockwise, you'll climb up the very steep path to the top of the hill and join the South Downs Way for a while where you will be rewarded for your efforts with some beautiful views.

You'll then descend again and walk through the small villages of Treyford and Didling as you head back to the start point.

Walker review

The GPS never connected the whole way around which was disappointing, but we managed to navigate off the map fortunately.

Walker review

The begining part of this walk, for about a mile, is all uphill, with some of it very steep which would be dangerous if it was wet.Amazing views and some beautiful properties to see.
