All the mapping you need to complete the 100-mile (160 km) South Downs Way National Trail, between Eastbourne and Winchester. With easy walking on ancient trackways, the route features wooded areas, river valleys and attractive villages and is rich in natural, geological and historical interest.
This booklet of Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps has been designed for convenient use on the trail. It shows the full and up-to-date line of the route along with the relevant extract from the OS Explorer map legend, and can be used when walking the trail in either direction. Conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or the top of a rucksack, it comes in a clear PVC sleeve.
An accompanying Cicerone guidebook – The South Downs Way – describes the full route in both directions and includes lots of other practical and historical information, for those who prefer a written guide. The guidebook INCLUDES a copy of this map booklet.
