West Sussex is renowned for its stately homes and castles such as Arundel and Bramber. Over half of the county is protected countryside, which offers good walking cycling and other recreational opportunities. The county also has a large number of lovely country pubs and this book features 27 of them over ten walks. The pubs are located in all sorts of locations with many of them having lovely views or nearby historic landmarks or sites of interest. Many of the pubs are in picturesque villages and the vast majority serve excellent locally-sourced fresh food. This book aims to combine two or three of these pubs on each walk that are conveniently reached via footpaths. The walks range from 2.75 miles to 9 miles and have been carefully selected so that they give a day out with plenty to see and do. The routes are also designed to include as many other areas of interest as possible, making the walks an enjoyable day out for everyone - families, groups of friends or individuals looking for a gentle stroll or a longer walk. The ten walks are centred on East Wittering, West Itchenor and West Wittering; Chidham and Nutbourne; Charlton and Singleton; Tillington and Petworth; Burpham, Arundel and Offham; Wisborough Green and Newpound Common; Barns Green, Two Mile Ash and Southwater; Partridge Green and Littleworth; Rusper and Lambs Green; and West Hoathly and Ardingly. Halsgrove¿s new-format guidebook, containing maps, photographs and useful information will ensure a great walking experience. Packed with colour, the book is an ideal reminder of a visit to West Sussex and its hostelries.
