Upper Medway Valley
Here is an easy walk in the valley of the Upper Medway in Sussex. We join the the river as it heads for the Kent border, gaining width and strength. It is a walk without significant hills, never far from the water, and is described as a figure-of-eight. This allows for a shorter circuit option – though most regular Argus walkers should have no difficulty in completing the full version of the walk.

Dragons Green circular
Images of a flying, fire-breathing, slimy reptile could not be further from the reality that is the tranquil community of Dragons Green, set a few hundred yards from the bustling A272 road and just over a mile west of the main Worthing to London road.

Harrow Hill Circular
How about a fiveand- a-half mile walk around an industrial estate? It’s the kind of place where serious, heavy, manual work has been the order of the day and people worked long hours in cramped, hazardous conditions.

Henfield
There are many footpaths around Henfield, all of them, it seems, testifying to a past purpose for getting about the daily business of a very busy community.

Small Dole circular
Small Dole sits astride the Upper Beeding to Henfield road (A2037). How it came by its unusual name is something of a mystery. Maybe charitable donations to the needy by local fat cats were so pitiful it was decided to commemorate such parsimony in perpetuity, every time the name was mentioned.

Upper Beeding Circular
This walk begins at the village of Upper Beeding, climbs onto the well-drained paths of the Downs, passes hilltop farms and the transmitting stations at Truleigh Hill and drops steeply, crossing the springline, towards Edburton.

Washington Circular
This walk takes the foot of the sheltered scarp slope of the Downs for around three miles and then climbs steeply to the crest, to pass the distinctive Chanctonbury Ring, before descending back to Washington village.

Wiston Circular
This walk begins in Water Lane, Wiston, and many walkers and cyclists will know the lane is home to one of the legendary tearooms of Sussex.

Partridge Green and Shermanbury
This shorter walk begins and finishes on the Sussex Weald, about one mile north of Henfield beside the A281 road and conveniently for those with a raging thirst, in front of a welcoming pub.

Shoreham Circular
The circular walk takes in a stretch along the River Adur, near Shoreham Airport, and part of the South Downs Way, past the brooding Lancing College

Findon, Clapham and Patching
This walk begins in the Findon valley and starts by travelling westward across the flank of Church Hill.

Findon Valley
Any activity in the Findon valley is dominated by the presence of Cissbury Ring, which has stood sentinel over this area for several thousand years, a testament to Iron Age civil engineering skills.

Washington and Sullington
Far-reaching views in every direction will be the walker’s reward on this energetic hill walk from Washington to Chantry Hill

Sompting to Cissbury Ring
This short, five mile walk begins in the part of Sompting which is separated from the main village by the busy A27 main road. St Mary's Church, with its distinctive Rhenish tower, remains the most prominent local feature and makes a suitable spot from which to start.

Ashington Circular
While Ashington may be expanding rapidly there is still plenty of Wealden countryside around the smaller, ancient Sussex villages of Thakeham and Warminghurst.

Arundel to Burpham Circular
This walk along the Arun valley to Burpham village and the hamlet of South Stoke, has a mixture of wonderful views of riverbanks, meadows and woodland.

Lower Barpham Circular
This walk through Angmering Estate woodland has extensive downland vistas, a fine balcony path and views across to one of the first industrial sites in Britain.
