Having not explored this area much I didn’t know what to expect when it was suggested by Danielle C that we have a look around with our pooches. This is a small forest South East of Crawley with wide fire tracks, sandy climbs and muddy trails.
8 – Storrington – 7.5km
This route was suggested by Rhianwen F.
Starting out right on the top of the South Downs at the end of Chantry Lane, Storrington the views here are worth the effort of putting on running shoes and getting out the door.
7 – Nymans Woodland Trail – 5.2km
This route is a nice circular 5km which is well trodden by many in the beautiful woodlands around Nymans Gardens and house.
6 – Slinfold – 9km
This spot is a staple for my running as it offers a variety of distances and terrains which keeps it interesting for myself and pooch.
This 8 km route heads out east from the site of the old Slinfold Station using the downs link and a nice loop through some woods and along the banks of the Arun.
5 – St Leonards Forest – 8.4km
This Forestry Commission owned site is a great place for any ability,
the terrain varies greatly from wide open tracks, winding woodland trails and sandy inclines. This opens the area up for fun exploration with your dog and affords ample space for off-lead frolics in a number of streams and ponds.
