Day Walk – Ashington and Woodlands

Saturday 4th July 2026

A delightful mix of woodlands and meadow, with views of the South Downs and streams to jump into – to please the dogs (well Poppy at least!).

The walk is just over 9 miles long and should take about five hours, plus breaks for coffee and lunch. Please bring a packed lunch.

We can park at the Red Lion (particularly if we plan to have a drink there afterwards) or in the road alongside.

Public transport options - bus 23 from Horsham or Worthing. Please check the timetables.

About the route:

• This is a fairly gentle walk with just under 500ft of ascent
• If the weather looks iffy – too wet or too hot (!) we can shorten the route to 6 miles.
