14 Sept, 10.30am: Discover our Sussex heathland at Ambersham Common

Guided Walks with Dr Geoffrey Mead

Geoffrey has been leading walks with us for four years and we have enjoyed his amazing knowledge of the Sussex landscape, his stories about past communities and some notable residents too!  We have arranged 4 walks this year and invite you to come along and discover more hidden Sussex gems

Discover our Sussex heathland at Ambersham Common – a morning walk, Sunday 14th Sept

Location: we meet at Ambersham Common car park
Date: 14th September
Time 10.30am – 1.30pm (approx.)

Ticket Prices: Members £10, Non-Members £15 (maximum 15 on each walk)

Important note: Our walks usually take 2.5 – 3 hours over variable terrain and are not gentle ambles.  To enjoy the walks, you need to be able to sustain a reasonable pace, often over uneven ground (sometimes negotiating stiles), and be comfortable walking up and down slopes and hills.   The ground can be muddy and slippery too.  You must be very firm on your feet and able to walk for 3 hours.  We do pause along the way and stop for a 15-minute break, often to enjoy a particularly stunning view, to rest and have a snack and a chat.  Sturdy shoes/boots suitable for walking over varying ground conditions are essential.

Ambersham Common is part of the West Sussex heathlands, a landscape of pines and bracken, sand and gravel; our walk looks at the various ‘mini landscapes’ within the larger heath and note the contrasts in the human uses of the area. Autumnal hints all round and the smell of the pines.
