Walk Description:

An easy paced walk along the lovely Arun valley, starting at Swanbourne Lake and heading towards the ancient village of South Stoke and an opportunity to visit its 11C church then returning along the Arun river bank via the Black Rabbit and coffee at the cafe at Swanbourne Lake. There are a number of stiles en-route and allow up to 2hrs for the walk.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
