Climb a wooded hillside for views over East Dean and its downland valley.
(D/A) From the front door of The Star & Garter pub, turn left past the phone box.
Keeping the village green on your right, pass the Methodist chapel on your left and turn left at the road junction, signposted to Goodwood and Chichester.
Walking on East Dean Hill, pass Manor Farm as you leave the village. Continue uphill past the delimit signs and pass an overgrown quarry on your left (ignoring a footpath on the right).
After the road swings left, look out for a wooden fingerpost on the left with a Monarch’s Way roundel. Leave the road here and follow a narrow path through the trees to a gate.
Walk up the narrow field beyond, aiming gradually away from the road to a stile in the top left-hand corner. At the footpath junction beyond, go straight on among trees, before bearing left to emerge in a field. Turn right and walk along the field edge, with the road again to your right.
(1) At the next field entrance, with a footpath sign by a telegraph pole, turn left, at right angles to the road, and cross the field to the trees on the other side.
Enter the wood beyond a waymark post and follow the path-cum- track to a junction of tracks.
(2) Turn left, and shortly ignore a ride heading off on the right. At a rather misleading bridleway sign, leave the obvious track ahead and bear right onto the narrower, descending path. This path leads down through the trees, crossing a ride at a waymark post, to a path junction with a finger post.
(3) Carry straight on and emerge into fields with a view to East Dean ahead of you. Walk down the left-hand side of the field to the corner, then continue ahead between fields and under power lines. At the end of the field, drop down a couple of steps to a perpendicular path. Turn left, shortly ignoring a path off to the right. Carry straight on when you meet a metalled road (Droke Lane), past flint terraced cottages, to return to the Star & Garter.
