Kingley Vale

Nice 2 mile circular walk through old woods and yew trees, up hill in places so keeps you fit!
Small car park 3/4 mile from reserve along gravel track.

Beautiful nature reserve North of Chichester. Plenty of Bridleway trails for cycling

Delightful walk through very old yew trees, after slightly tedious track. Can walk on up steep hill to The Devils Humps (4 Bronze Age Barrows) for excellent view of Chichester Harbour on a clear day. Warnings in the car park about thieves, but can sometimes get sustenance from the coffee stall!

Beautiful open space. But if a hill walk to the top but views are worth it. Really well looked after with unique surroundings. Great range of footpaths and bridleways winding around the front and back of the south downs hills. Definitely worth a visit. Car park at the bottom is small but on most days has enough parking. Open 24/7 for everyone to enjoy nature.

I just love this place. If you love Yew trees this is a MUST. Peaceful walks through the woods.

Start the route at West Stoke carpark.
Just a quick summary.
No detailed map of routes.
No information on how steep, or how long.
You have to download an app or call to pay for parking. It's £3. And mobile signal isn't great so it proved v.difficult.
it was litter free. Beautiful Yew woodland.
Only one bench at the start to sit on.
And it was drizzly which meant the flint paths were very slippery walking down hill.

Fabulous 360 views of the South downs and beyond. A good 3 hour hike with varying descents

Walked up to Kingley Vale from the village of Staughton. Google Maps tried to take us up a path where no unauthorised vehicles were allowed. We parked up in the village. Just beyond a flint walled barn with green doors there's a footpath leading uphill. It's opposite a sign for Church Farm Staughton. It's pretty steep and not for the faint hearted. You'll find a memorial to a Polish RAF Hurricane pilot who lost his life when he crashed in the adjacent field. At the top you'll find the tumuli and plenty of ancient yew trees, along with stunning views over the Solent and IOW. Well worth the hike.
