52 Favorite West Sussex Walks

Richard Williamsons weekly walking column has long been one of the most popular features in the Chichester Observer, Worthing Observer and West Sussex Gazette. Now, following the format that has proved such a hit over the years, for the first time he has compiled his favourite walks  one for every week of the year  with hand-drawn route maps. His knowledge and love of the timeless South Downs landscape and its varied flora, fauna and stories  from bat-birds and the Devils Jumps to beloved pubs and famous poets  combine with practical notes on routes that can be covered easily in an afternoon. Richard Williamson was for 30 years the manager of Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and has an unparalleled knowledge of South Downs wildlife and lore.
