About The South Downs Way
The 100-mile South Downs Way National Trail starts in Winchester city centre, by Winchester City Mill.
Following ancient routes and droveways through the chalk hills of the South Downs National Park, the South Downs Way is a long-distance walking trail that links Winchester in Hampshire with Eastbourne in East Sussex. The elevated trail boasts amazing views of the countryside and the coast, passing protected habitats, pretty villages, chalk streams, ancient woodland and more. Those who travel the route will discover locations like Old Winchester Hill, Queen Elizabeth Country Park and Seven Sisters Country Park.
The South Downs Way can be walked in its entirety over 5 - 8 days, or in smaller sections. It is the only National Trail to lie entirely within a National Park, and is almost entirely off-road.
