Sensational South Downs Saunters With Kids!
Looking for a mud-free adventure? Here are three fantastic, child-friendly walks in the beautiful South Downs National Park. Don't worry, each adventure starts from a car park at the top of the hill, so there are no crazy hill climbs involved!
​
Why are the South Downs mud-free? The open chalk grassland enables water to drain really quickly and paths are seldom overgrown. The landscape gently undulates - perfect for families!
