This week's walk: Horsted Keynes and Furner's Green

The pretty pond and parkland near Heaven Farm is just one of the views on offer during this walk

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.

Burgess Hill and Goddards Green

Burgess Hill and Goddards Green

3:39pm Thursday 27th November 2008

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

Blackcap from the path south of Warningore Farm

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

Plaistow Place, a typical Wealden house for a squire or rich gent, is passed at an early stage of the walk

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

The Six Bells Pub in Chiddingly is a good place to take a break while enjoying this generally easy walk that links the village with East Hoathly

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

Taking a bus to the walk will minimise your carbon footprint, and allow you to take in some gorgeous views on the way

2:45pm Monday 27th October 2008

This walk follows a linear route across the Downs.

Beckley circular

This beautiful view overlooking the valley of the River Tillingham can be seen from point five of the walk

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

The impressive pile at Wephurst Park can be viewed from across fine lawns on this north Sussex walk

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

On this walk you'll get beautiful views south towards Black Cap from the path near Hurst Barns

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

Glimpses of remote downland villages such as Walderton are a feature of this walk in the western Downs

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.
