Arundel castle markets to the Seaside: A Scenic South Coast hike

£30 train & hike tickets are now sold out, I’ve bought some more open return tickets if you’d like to still book.
Alternatively, can still contact me for hike only tickets if you have your own train tickets.

DESCRIPTION
Embark on an invigorating journey through the charming countryside and coastal beauty of West Sussex. This hike takes you from the historic town of Arundel, with its imposing castle and serene riverside, through Littlehampton’s picturesque seafront, and finally to the lively seaside town of Bognor Regis. Along the way, you’ll experience a mix of tranquil rural landscapes, vibrant waterfronts, and the invigorating sea breeze.
Starting in Arundel, the route meanders along the River Arun, offering views of rolling hills and ancient woodland. As you reach Littlehampton, the coast unveils itself with golden sands and a welcoming promenade—an ideal spot for a quick rest or a bite to eat. The final stretch follows the coastline to Bognor Regis, where the vibrant pier and bustling seafront provide the perfect conclusion to this diverse hike.
