Other walks in the area

Cissburry Ring
This is a nice little 4 mile walk up to Cissbury Ring with amazing views over looking the sea and coastal towns of Worthing and Brighton from Cissbury Ring. Best attempted on a clear fine weather day so as to make the most of the views from the peak. This is a moderate walk that is not wheelchair friendly.
