Walk Information
The walk is mainly on the flat over fields, with quite a few stiles. Some of them are a bit high but they are all in good condition. Buggies would need to be lifted. The Royal Oak has a large car park and is child friendly. Meals are served on Sunday 12noon to 2.30pm. There is a large garden at the back. Normally serves three real ales including Harvey's Sussex Bitter.
