Evening Walks 2025  

We have enjoyed four evening walks in the lighter evenings this summer; from Ashington, a circular woodland walk seeing the last of the bluebells and finishing at the Red Lion for a sociable drink after a warm evening. Next we walked around Knepp rewilded estate, leaving from Dial Post village green and spotting deer, Exmoor ponies, white storks on the nest and in flight, the longhorn cattle, rabbits and evidence of the pigs. We watched from the bird hide and listened to many different calls of the water birds, before visiting the remains of the old keep on its mound, returning to Dial Post as the sun set. Our midweek offering in July was a 6 mile circular from Bramber castle along one bank of the river Adur and back – through thick undergrowth – along the other side and finishing in the village pub for a swift half pint. We heard reed warblers and again saw a beautiful sunset.

Walks were led by Sue Waton and Ali Edwards
