Lewes Glynde Mount Caburn circular- 9.5 miles

Join me for a scenic 9.5-mile circular walk exploring the South Downs around Lewes, Glynde and Mount Caburn.
We’ll meet outside the main entrance to Lewes Railway Station at 10:15am and head out towards Malling Down Nature Reserve, with open downland views as we make our way to Glynde.
🥪 Lunch Stop:
We’ll stop for a picnic on Glynde village green at around 6 miles. There are public toilets here, plus a tea room and village shop (though opening isn’t guaranteed), and a pub as well as the Steamworks bar at Glynde station— but we’ll only pause for about 40 minutes, so please bring a packed lunch.
⛰️ After lunch we climb uphill to Mount Caburn, with great views on a clear day, before looping back down into Lewes.

🐕 Dogs welcome (please keep under control, especially near livestock).

The Brighton and Hove Group of The Ramblers and its leaders accept no responsibility for any claims arising from the activities of the group. All walk leaders must be fully paid-up members of the Ramblers Association.

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
