Sunday Walk - Westerly South Downs: Petersfield to Rowlands Castle

Length: 17.4 km (10.8 mi)
Ascent/Descent: 308/335 m 
Net Walking Time: ca. 4 hours
Toughness: 3 out of 10 
 
Take the 09.30 Portsmouth Harbour train from Waterloo (Clapham J 09.39, Woking 10.04), arrives Petersfield 10.45. Return trains: xx.13 (91 mins). Buy a Rowlands Castle return. 
 
An undulating ramble through the little-known western reaches of the South Downs. Though there are a couple of steep climbs, the overall gradients are not too arduous, and your reward is some fine hilltop views in the second half of the walk.
 
Lunch: The Red Lion in Chalton (10.5 km/6.5 mi, food all day). 
Tea: For details of the tea shop and the three pubs in Rowlands Castle check the walk directions pdf.
