  A collection of 40 main walks plus 16 variations and outline descriptions of 11 longer walks in Sussex. The High Weald, Ashdown Forest, Low Weald and the South Downs are all explored. There are lakeside and river-bank walks, woodland outings, gentle strolls along the line of abandoned railways, and more challenging walks up and down some of the steepest hills in southern England. There are villages to visit and historic sites that record man's long involvement in the life of this southern county: from the ancient burial grounds to hillforts; from prehistoric flint mines to Roman palaces; from battle grounds to hammer ponds; from castles to windmills and the homes of some of Britain's best-loved writers and poets. The text is also a visitor's guide to the geography, people and places of Sussex.
