Walk Description:

If you don’t mind starting with a short road walk, this is a super circuit of just over an hour – good for those returning to walking after a break as there are some hilly sections but nothing too heavy. Combines a great range of terrains.

Start from the main car park on the southern edge of Compton, walk through the village and ten minutes beyond along a relatively quiet stretch of road.

Then a well-trodden footpath crosses a field and climbs a grassy dell with downland views if you look behind.

After an area of mixed woodland, cross a gently sloping hilltop and descend through even finer vistas, ending with a cross-field stroll back into Compton. 

Suggest car sharing Compton is a 25 minute drive from Chichester. Slightly muddy in a few places if there has been rain and clay in the last section can get a little slippery.  Hazards include tree roots and an uneven surface.  Excellent coffee is available at Compton’s tea shop/ village stores.

PACE Explained:

PACE 1  Approximately 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. A comfortable pace for anyone who wants to walk and talk. There is time to stop and take photos etc.  

PACE 2 Approximately 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour. This is a steady pace which might make your breathing a little heavier, especially on the hills. 

PACE 3 Approximately 4.5 to 5 miles per hour. This is for the more experienced walker who knows they can push the pace. There will be times where they will be breathless but there is also recovery (usually on the flat or downhill).  

Please be assured that we have a NO DROP POLICY (no none gets left behind) and the walk leaders will always ensure we use different methods to cater for different needs within the group.
