South Downs Way Walking Holidays
We specialise in self-guided inn to inn walks on the South Downs Way.
The rolling countryside of the South Downs has some of the finest views in Britain. The 102 mile National Trail takes you from Winchester, the first capital of England with it's majestic cathedral to the spectacular white chalk cliffs of Eastbourne and Beachy Head. The way follows for the most part the ridge of the South Downs making this trail a comfortable introduction to long distance walking.
The spectacular Devil's Dyke, owned by the National Trust, is a natural amphitheatre with wide ranging views taking in the Weald and across to the Isle of Wight. There are innumerable pretty villages on the trail, including Alfriston which has a short detour to the Long Man of Wilmington, a mysterious chalk figure said to be the guardian of the South Downs. The beautiful river valleys and woodlands teem with wildlife and offer a truly peaceful and pleasurable walk.
We pride ourselves on sourcing quality country inns, hotels and guest houses giving you the best rest and relaxation on offer before starting the walk each day. Your baggage will be transferred to the next accommodation en route allowing you time to fully enjoy the benefits of your surroundings.
This self-guided route offers an insightful and comprehensive guide littered with historic notes and tales to embellish your walking experience. |
