This walk is suitable for dogs and you are more than welcome to bring them. Sometimes there are cattle in the common areas at various times of the year and then dogs would need to go on leads around this section.

We will walk through the heathers and woodlands and around the farm land and you will have views toward the South Downs. Boots or wellies are highly recommended as this route can get quite muddy in places especially after rain. The route does have a little road walking in places so care is to be taken on these and the ground can be uneven in places due to the sand and mud and tree routes on the common.
