The South Downs Way is the 99-mile (159-km) National Trail over the undulating countryside between Eastbourne and Winchester. You can walk or ride along this scenic route across the open expanse of the Sussex Downs, following the Countryside Agency's acorn waymarks. This is the complete, official guide for the long distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book. It contains: the entire route split into convenient sections; 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest; circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area; route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features; background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry and land use; details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and sources of further information on accommodation; the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside

This review is from: South Downs Way (National Trail Guides) (Paperback)
This book is a "must have" for anyone that is intending to walk the South Downs Way. It is written by someone that has clearly walked the route and knows it inside and out. The book has extracts from 1:25000 Pathfinder maps that highlight the route of the Way.The book contains good practical advice for persons intending to walk the route (carry a whistle, food, many layers of clothing etc.). The book points out many different places of interest that lie along the route. The best thing about the book is that it is organised into chapters that deal with an individual section of the South Downs Way. Each chapter covers a section of the Way that can be easily walked in a day (in Winter hours). This helps someone to plan a day's walking. I have walked most of the South Downs Way, and this book has accompanied me every time.
