This is a great walk towards the South Downs passing a vineyard and the charming village of Nutbourne with the equally charming pub before you finally ascent the South Downs and finish the walk in Amberley with the Bridge Inn right next to the station. There are two variations I highly recommend: The first is just before entering Nutbourne. It leads you through some woodland with a secluded lake and past an old mill, the second is an alternative approach and climb up to the South Downs ridge avoiding a long awkward walk along a lane. These variations extend the walk from 22.8km to 24.6km.
