Join our friendly bunch of walkers for a morning walk to discover the heathland of Ambersham Common

Geoffrey has been leading fascinating walks with us for four years and we have enjoyed his incredible knowledge of the Sussex landscape, his stories of past communities and some notable residents too! So many glorious Sussex gems still to discover.

Explore Ambersham Common part of the West Sussex heathlands, a landscape of pines and bracken, sand and gravel; our walk looks at the various ‘mini landscapes’ within the larger heath and note the contrasts in the human uses of the area. Autumnal hints all round and the smell of the pines.

We usually take a short break part way, often to enjoy a particularly stunning view, to rest and have a snack and a chat.

Please note: this walk is likely to be at least 3 hours in length, over variable terrain and Geoffrey's walks are not gentle ambles. To enjoy the walks to the full, you'll be able to sustain a reasonable pace, often over uneven ground (sometimes negotiating stiles), and be comfortable walking up and down slopes and hills. The ground can be muddy and slippery too. You'll be firm on your feet and able to walk for up to 3 hours. Sturdy shoes/boots suitable for walking over varying ground conditions are essential.
