Walking in Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey.

Midhurst walk 15th January 2025

Ten of us met up at the North Car Park in Midhurst for our 5.25 mile walk attempting to avoid deep puddles and mud.  The cold and overcast skies did not dampen our spirits walking down The Causeway towards Cowdray Ruins, crossing the Rother and heading up towards The Cowdray Café.  Turning off the unmade road before we could break off for refreshments and staying on The Sussex Diamond Way we crossed fields and the main road to take the permissive path through the woods beside the golf course staying parallel to the road.  Crossing back over the main road we walked down the driveway to Moor Farm, turned left onto the track up to Ambersham Bridge where we stopped for our coffee break.  Having warmed our innards, we crossed The Rother and took the footpath across the flood meadow which was squelchy but firm enough until we gained higher ground on the raised bank.  Crossing the field with sheep was made more entertaining by having to step over the electric fence across the footpath, and spilled out onto Selham Road heading to the entrance for Cowdray House.  At the corner we carried on up the hill to Kennels Dairy that now houses the Cowdray Works Department arriving at the end of The Wharf where we followed the bank of The Rother back to The Causeway and a change of footwear.  An enjoyable lunch was had at Fratelli’s on West Street to finish off.
