Sussex Ouse Valley Way circular walks of between five and nine miles have been developed by 'Per-Rambulations' since the launch of The Sussex Ouse Valley Way. Some have already featured in the Exploring West Sussex and Exploring East Sussex walking programmes. Each allows the walker to discover a section of the main route and explore the neighbouring countryside.
The Circular Walks are only available in A5 size laminated leaflet form. Each walk leaflet contains route instructions, a sketch map, and notes of interest.
To order any circular walk please go to the order form.
Beginning at the start of the Sussex Ouse Valley Way at Lower Beeding, the 7.5 mile walk explores the woodlands and furnace ponds of Leonardslee.
