TRAIL DETAILS:

Join us as we explore the stunning Devil's Dyke, Edburton & Poynings Circular, a beautiful 5.7-mile route through one of the most spectacular landscapes in the South Downs National Park.

Taking approximately 3-3.5 hours to complete as a group, this circular walk winds through rolling chalk hills, charming Sussex countryside, peaceful woodland trails and open downland, with incredible views across the South Downs and surrounding villages.

With approximately 830 ft of elevation gain, this is considered a moderate / challenging hike, with some challenging climbs and steep descents along the way. Expect a mixture of grassy paths, uneven trails and some steep sections that may be slippery in wet weather.

🔴 DIFFICULTY: CHALLENGING.
Please note: A strong level of fitness is required. This is a challenging hike with steep climbs, descents, uneven ground and potentially muddy or slippery paths. Suitable hiking footwear with plenty of grip is essential. Please ensure you are physically capable of completing the route before booking.

Dog Owners 🐶

Friendly dogs are welcome to join us but must be kept under control at all times.

Please keep dogs on leads around livestock, wildlife, roads and wherever local signage requires. There may be grazing animals along sections of the route.
