Royal Norfolk
Take a walk over the South Downs Way
The walk passes through or near to many historic and typically English towns and villages as it wends its way from the Saxon capital of Winchester to the famous white cliffs near Eastbourne.
It can take several days to walk the South Downs however it can be very rewarding. Local tourist authorities have many lists of B&Bs along or close to the route.
The South Downs Way starts from Winchester, this is a Cathedral city which is also known as the Saxon capital of England.
Within approximately 10 miles of parts of the South Downs Way is Portsmouth the historic home of the Royal Navy. On a visit here you should take in the narrow streets and ramparts of the historic old city and port as well as a climb to the top of the town’s stunning millennium project, the 170-meter-tall Spinnaker Tower. Portsmouth began as a Saxon fishing port, to its role as the home of possibly of the world’s greatest seaborne fighting forces.
The historic Cathedral City of Chichester is also a great place to take a break from the trip. But if you want to do some walking, you could go round the old town on the Medieval Walls. It takes approximately an hour to stroll the one and a half miles. The walls are built on Roman foundations going back to the 3rd century. In the middle of it the 1000 year old Chichester Cathedral is a definate must to visit. After visiting the Cathedral, maybe you could stop at one of the local pubs, the Old Cross is a firm favourite.
Chichester is also home to the Chichester Festival Theatre and to Goodwood where depending on upon the time of year you can experience thoroughbred racing, motor circuits and golf. Some say that Goodwood is one of the prettiest racetracks in the world.
Then we come to Bosham, this is one of the prettiest reaches of the lovely Chichester Harbour.
Amberley lies besides the River Arun’s water meadows and Arundel, on a hill above it, are classic English castle towns on the South Downs Way.
A visit to Arundel is a must. There are some quaint holiday cottages in the town which are available to rent, or maybe just book one for a weekend break.It boasts the beautiful 1,000-year-old, Norman Arundel Castle, still home to the Duke of Norfolk, and its stunning 19th century gothic Cathedral — the view of both of them from the distance, is like something out of a fairy tale book.
Later, you can actually take a room in a castle at Amberley, a tiny, mainly 16th century hamlet with picturesque thatched cottages.Amberley Working Museum an abandoned chalk quarry tells the history of the industrial revolution.
Arundel has many excellent restaurants or try the wonderfully eccentric Black Horse Pub in Amberley, one of its best traditional village pubs.
Brighton has been made fashionable in the early 19th century by the Prince Regent (later George IV). The palace of the Prince Regent, the Royal Pavilion, is one of Britain’s most exotic landmarks.
Brighton is one of the most popular british seaside resorts, famous since the Prince Regent made it fashionable in the early 19th century.
We conclude our journey at Eastbourne.
This is one of the most sedate of England’s South Coast seaside towns. It is renowned for its lovely beaches, these include a few of the only sandy stretches of beach along the south coast.
If you continue to walk the South Downs Way as far as the Eastbourne loop, you will see the magnificent Seven Sisters and Beachy Head itself, a really dramatic and rugged chalk cliff and a truly perfect place to end this picturesque journey.
