West Sussex County Council: The Wey-South Path

The 36 mile (58km) route offers a wide range of scenery through the greensand area of the Surrey hills and woods, before reaching remote areas of the Weald and the lush water meadows of the upper Arun, finally arriving on the high chalkland of the South Downs.
