Local Dog Walks

Cheesefoot Head
There Is A Fairly Small Car Park On A272 But I've Never Stopped There And Been Unable To Park. There Are Several Walks Around This Area But I Prefer To Cross The Road Onto The South Downs Way But A Nice 2 Mile Walk Which I Have Included Photos Of Goes Straight Across Down Instead Of Curving Right After The First Field. It's A Little Less Muddy Than The South Downs Walk That Way Which Is Better In Spring/Summer.

St Catherines Hill Fort
There Are A Few Routes Up St Catherine’S Hill, Which All Start And End At A Convenient Car Park. Once At The Summit, The Walk Can Be Extended To Include The East Side Of The Hill.
