Walk Description:

Join us for a beautiful walk around Swanbourne Lake and the surrounding Arundel countryside, combining wonderful views, fresh air and friendly company.

The route includes a mixture of gentle hills and flatter sections, giving you enough of a challenge to feel like you’ve had a good walk without anything too strenuous. We’ll follow well-defined paths and stay together as a group.

Different walking abilities are very welcome. We have plenty of ways of keeping the group together while giving faster walkers opportunities to stretch their legs and push themselves a little more. So you don’t need to worry about holding anyone up – or about not getting enough of a workout!

There is always plenty to see, from the spectacular views across Arundel Park to the wide variety of birdlife around the lake and surrounding countryside.

As always with WALX Coast and Country, you can expect a friendly welcome, plenty of conversation and no one left behind.

Please wear sturdy walking shoes suitable for the conditions.

A great choice if you want to keep active, enjoy beautiful Sussex countryside and walk at a level that works for you.

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.
