This week's walk: Horsted Keynes and Furner's Green
3:42pm Monday 1st December 2008
From the village of Horsted Keynes, this walk heads eastwards to encircle the nearby settlement of Danehill, crossing and recrossing two well-wooded valleys before returning along part of the Sussex Border Path, a longdistance walking route which sticks fairly closely to the boundary between East and West Sussex.

On this walk we explore the patch of countryside between the ever-growing Burgess Hill and the ever-busy A23, London to Brighton road.
Plumpton and Blackcap circular
4:11pm Wednesday 19th November 2008
On two recent Argus walks we have been able to enjoy some views of Blackcap from paths across the Weald to the north, without actually venturing on to the Downs.
Plaistow circular
3:36pm Wednesday 12th November 2008
In the north of Sussex, close to the border with Surrey, are a number of small villages with no major roads going through them and which retain an air of remoteness and isolation rare in today’s crowded South East.
East Hoathly circular
3:59pm Monday 3rd November 2008
This generally easy walk in the Low Weald links the two attractive villages of East Hoathly and Chiddingly, both with conveniently placed pubs and interesting churches, the stone spire of Chiddingly church being a notable landmark visible for miles around.
Devil's Dyke to Ditchling Beacon
2:45pm Monday 27th October 2008
This walk follows a linear route across the Downs.
Beckley circular
2:21pm Monday 20th October 2008
Part of this walk passes through the commercially afforested areas of Beckley and Bixley Woods, home to a substantial colony of free-roaming wild boar, though you will be lucky to catch a glimpse of these shy nocturnal animals.
Kirdford circular
3:16pm Monday 13th October 2008
Kirdford is a charming north Sussex village, which in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries thrived as a centre for the glass-making industry.
Barcombe - South Chailey - Chiltington
3:00pm Monday 6th October 2008
This is a gentle, unspectacular walk across undulating cultivated land on the western side of the Ouse valley between Barcombe and Chailey.
West Marden circular
4:55pm Monday 29th September 2008
On a previous walk in this part of the county, we visited all four of the Marden villages and noted that three of them had churches and only one had a pub, but things may have been different in the past.
