ISBN: 0-7117-2424-5

The county’s most distinctive feature is the South Downs, with the smooth and rolling contours that give onto delightful and amazing views.
The walks in this guide will enable any walker to discover the diverse attractions of the county without walking further than 51/2 miles or having to undertake steep and taxing ascents. The rich geographic features such as Ditchling Beacon and Beachy Head and interspersed with strolls around castles (Herstmonceux and Bodiam), the remains of Roman Sussex at Fishbourne and Bignor, the ancient Cinque port of Winchelsea and the site of probably the most significant battle in English history near Hastings.
