Amberley Burpham Arundel circular walk - 11 miles

An 11-mile circular hilly walk through the South Downs. This varied route combines open downland, farmland, historic parkland, Arundel castle and the River Arun, with excellent views on a clear day.
The walk takes us through the attractive countryside around Amberley, Burpham and Arundel Park, with views towards Arundel Castle. We will stop for a picnic lunch in Arundel at approximately 6 miles into the walk, where toilets, cafés and other facilities are available nearby. After lunch, a climb through Arundel Park to Houghton and back to Amberley.
This is a Ramblers grade moderate walk with several hills and some stiles along the route. Please ensure you are comfortable with the distance and terrain before booking. If you are unsure whether this walk is suitable for you, please refer to the Ramblers walk grading guidance.https://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking-hub/how-know-if-ramblers-walk-right-you)
The section beside the River Arun can be muddy following wet weather, so suitable walking boots or sturdy footwear are strongly recommended.

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.
