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.
