A useful summary of walks in Southern Sussex. Each walk has a short summary of the terrain including distance and timing, where to get refreshments and which Ordinance Survey map you could take with you. There are a few illustrations of distinctive features such as mills, churches and river crossings plus a handy route map at the start of each walk. The history connected with each walk is fascinating too. It would be a great companion on your walk.

As someone who grew up in Sussex and over many years walked throughout the County, it was pleasing and refreshing to find a new collection of walks.
Eddie Start has writing a wonderful compendium of rambles in East and West Sussex. Each walk comprises of : distance and timings; starting points for circular walks , Map OS references and information about car parks, footpaths and places to stop for refreshments.
The attention to detail is excellent and considers different eventualities. The walks range in time from one and half hours to around eight hours.
It is the additional details highlighting historical facts, geographical details and general knowledge linked to the locations that make the book extra interesting .
For someone who has covered many footpaths across both counties , this is definitely a welcome addition for walkers new to the area and those familiar with Sussex.
A book fall of charm and character and some brilliant walks to try this summer .
