We used to offer 7 or 9 day walking holidays following either the original 80 mile trail or the full 100 mile trail along the South Downs Way, unfortunately due to the lack of good dog friendly accommodation on parts of the trail from 2020 we will only be offering short breaks on certain sections... our 2 or 3 day short breaks maybe perfect for you and your pooch... 

The South Downs Way was officially opened as a national trail in 1972. It ran from the village of Buriton to Beachy Head high above Eastbourne. It faithfully followed the full 80-mile ridge of the southern chalk hills from their gentle rise at Harting Down to their dramatic departure beneath the English Channel. Some fifteen years later it was decided to extend the route back into Winchester. The trail can be split in two, or even quarters and cover it with a series of Bank Holiday walks to see how the trail changes through the seasons.… the choice is yours!     Send an enquiry
