Southwick and Portsdown Hill

We are planning to have an extra walk during February. It will start in Southwick and circle the countryside up to Portsdown Hill. The walk will be about 8 miles, with a stop for a packed lunch (please bring with you what you want to eat) at the Nelson’s Monument (no pub lunch). Then continue down to the village of Southwick. There is a nice pub called the Golden Lion to have a drink at the end of the walk, but we will not be finished in time to have lunch.

There is a car park at the rear of the pub, see location linked below, and the start time will be 10 am.

Map to the route.

This is a long walk and in parts could be best described as boggy, so please make sure you are suitably prepared. If there is heavy rain during the week before I may have to rethink this walk, but I will let you know. There is also about 7 stiles to cross during the walk and about 20 minutes on a small narrow country road.
