Sussex Walks
These walks from Wepham offer a variety of ways to explore the beautiful South Downs countryside.
The shortest route is a gentle woodland stroll through Wepham Woods, perfect if you’re after a relaxed outing without much climbing.
For more of a challenge, the second route - known as the South Downs Hare Walk - takes you over rolling hills with great views and plenty of wildlife, including a steep hill to keep you on your toes.
The longest option is a full South Downs adventure, combining woodland paths, scenic ridges, and the charming village of Wepham for a varied and rewarding walk.
No matter which route you choose, you’ll enjoy fresh air, lovely views, and the peaceful countryside of Sussex.

Walk information
This first route is a nice and simple woodland walk around the pretty Wepham Woods.
This option is quite a flat walk and doesn't involve the more strenuous hill climbing of the other two routes from this start point.

First-hand experiences
This is a nice walk to get some fresh breath into you lungs and if you want a straight forward all weather walk, however, if you are looking for something with interest as in varied terrain etc then probably not ideal.
Beautiful bluebell walk. Great paths for cycling with little ones.
Walk information
The second alternative route is known as the South Downs Hare Walk and it heads in a different direction to the first route whilst offering some great views across rolling hills and lots of wildlife.
There is a quite steep hill to climb and descend on this route though, so go prepared with some energy!

Walk information
This third option is a much longer and much more strenuous walk around this beautiful hilly area of the South Downs National Park.
It enjoys the walk around Warningcamp Hill like in the second route, but it also visits the village of Wepham before taking you further out into the downs for a walk along Perry Hill and the Windy Ridge.
It also takes you on a long woodland track through the Oaken Copse and Wepham Woods and this all makes this an enjoyable and varied walk.
You can expect lots of wonderful views and fresh air on this route, but there is also a lot of hill climbing and no refreshments on route, so please go prepared.
