A walk along the chalk downs of Hampshire and Sussex, from Winchester to Eastbourne.
From £425 per person
Walk the chalk downs of Hampshire and Sussex on the South Downs Way, which dips into beautiful river valleys to visit Norman and Saxon churches, deserted medieval villages, and historic thatched villages bursting with flowers.
This spectacular National Trail boasts a wealth of old beacon viewpoints overlooking patchwork fields and woodland. Those inland vistas are matched only by the breath-taking views from chalk clifftop trails out over the English Channel at the adventure’s end. The South Downs Way is a stunning walking holiday through iconic English terrain.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £970 per person
Book your walking holiday along the South Downs Way and explore all 100 miles of this spectacular National Trail, setting off from Winchester and scrambling eastwards towards Eastbourne on the coast.
The walk traverses the fabulous chalk downs and offers far-reaching views along its length. However, the best scenery arguably comes at the end of your journey, where you'll enjoy magnificent coastal panoramas from atop the rolling clifftops of the famous Seven Sisters.
