The South Downs Way is 100 miles long, travelling between the ancient city of Winchester and the white cliffs of Eastbourne. Why not try the journey both ways – there will always be something new to see. If you brave the entire route you will travel a total ascent of 3,800m/12,600ft – a climb of three and a half times the height of Mount Snowdon.
As you travel along the route be sure to stop at the unique, independent eateries and accommodation along to way to make your journey all the more special.
