Petworth Park – 7km

Rolling countryside with grassy fields, scattered trees, a small pond, and distant hills under a partly cloudy sky.

This route takes you into the National Trust owned Petworth Park, the route leads you round the majestic 700 acre deer park designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. The route starts out from the Deer Park car park along the A283 where a small charge is required for parking which goes towards the upkeep of the […]

Wisborough Green – 14km

Moss-covered stone chapel ruin with a rounded apse and arched windows in a forest, with a small bell tower in the background.

This long route takes you from the village of Wisborough Green and over the hill at Bedham looping back through Hawkhurst court which was incidentally the headquarters of the Canadian army during WWII. The route is a mixture of open fields woodland trails though caution is recommended in a number of sections as it uses […]

Loxwood – 12km

A narrow muddy canal lined with trees on both sides, with a large tree trunk in the foreground.

This route brings us back to the Wey and Arun Junction Canal but this time heading away south though woodlands and fields past a number of mills along the river Arun which have been renovated to houses.

Flexham Park – 5.5K

A wide rural landscape with a grassy foreground dotted with purple wildflowers, a line of trees in the middle distance, and a distant body of water under a cloudy sky.

This compact 5.5km trail route starts right on part of the Serpent trail and once to the top of the hill offers fantastic views towards the North Downs.

Chanctonbury Ring – 10km

This is one of my favorite routes, the paths are good and the views are spectacular once you arrive on the top off the downs looking North into the Weald basin or South towards the coast where the sea can be seen (weather permitting).

Rudgwick – 8.5km

This route starts out in Rudgwick at the site of the now demolished station and leads south along the downs link.

Barns Green – 5.5km

This 5.5km route has been a staple during the winter months given the tracks it utilises.

Storrington – 8.5km

This route heads out East towards Amberly along the South Downs Way and uses paths across fields and downs (plenty of ups too).

Loxwood – 6.5km

This is the final in a series of runs starting out from the Onslow Arm in Loxwood. The route takes in part some of the restored canal and swings north along fields, woodland and trails. There is ample water along the route from running streams or the canal itself where your dogs can take a […]
