Well the weather was amazing so that was an excellent start thank you. The three walks were all very different. On the last day we chose to do the walk that took us to The Weald and South Downs Outdoor Museum where we spent three happy hours well worth a visit. All in all a great short break.
Very enjoyable, Inns were first class for service and meals which met our expectations. The walking at times could be quite hard with a lot of hills and loose stoney footpaths but overall we had an excellent break.
Very enjoyable short walking holiday. Walks were interesting and exceeded our expectations. The notes were excellent and easy to follow. The accommodation was of a good standard. This was the first trip we had booked with Inntravel and I would certainly use again as the walks were well planned, would not have been easy to plan ourselves and all the arrangements were spot on.

We had to eat at the Earl of March as the Royal Oak was closed on the days we were in East Lavant - but this was no hardship as the food was absolutely excellent!
Tip - the Earl of March gets very busy (as was only operating at reduced capacity as the staff were all needed later in the week for Goodwood crowds) - so book early when this might appply!! Also take a torch if it dark at the end of dinner - no street lighting.
Our favourite part of the walks was the Kingley Vale Nature Trail with the amazing yew trees. Blessed with a glorious sunny day, the extraordinary yew groves, provided much needed shade amongst the huge trunks and twisted branches. We were mesmerised by our surroundings.
Loved the White Horse pub in Chilgrove and that area in particular. This is a walking break for those who don't really like hills. We visited the Weald and Downland museum at the end of our holiday and don't think we could have done it justice if we'd called there as part of a walk.
This was a great introduction to the South Downs. Our highlights were the fantastic views available from Beacon Hill and The Trundle, refreshing drinks at The Royal Oak at Hooksway and West Dean Gardens & The Weald and Downland Living Museum, which both exceeded expectations. It was also fortunate that we were able to squeeze in a show at the Festival Theatre in Chichester.
We chose the hottest week of the year to do this walk!!! Due to the weather we were in shorts but would suggest long trousers as a lot of the routes are through long grass and some of the footpaths are obviously not well used so lots of brambles and stinging nettles. The countryside is absolutely beautiful and definitely a part of England I would love to revisit. At the White Horse please make sure you check the room allocated to you if you want a shower not just a bath. Their rooms are all individual but not all with showers. In the Royal Oak we were in rooms 1 and 2 which overlooked the fields and a great view of the spitfire planes flying over.
We really appreciated the opportunity to have a walking holiday in an area of the country we were not familiar with. The South Downs area is beautiful, and we were very fortunate with the weather. We enjoyed the holiday every bit as much as previous visits to the Canaries and France/Spain with Inntravel. Our highlights were the Devil's Humps and the amazing yew tree groves in the Kingley Vale Nature reserve; the Weald and Downland Living Museum; and drinking cold beers overlooking a wheat field behind the Royal Oak, with vintage planes coming into land at Goodwood Aerodrome. Looking forward to more holidays with Inntravel at home or abroad!
Superb countryside for walking - a new area for us and more dramatic than we were expecting.
Exceptionally clear written instructions - so no anxiety about getting lost.
The additional information in the guide - e.g. about yew trees/local history/archaeological remains - really added value to our understanding of the areas we walked through.
Accommodation at two inns (The Royal Oak, East Lavant and The White Horse, Chilgrove) was very high quality - the staff couldn't have been more helpful and the food offer was great.
