The South Downs Way in West Sussex
Amberley to Washington

Main sections of this leg of the South Downs Way

  • Houghton Bridge
  • Amberley Mount
  • Springhead Hill
  • Sullington Hill
Our South Downs Way Guide points out the main points of interest and characteristics of the countryside for each of these sections.

Section length
6 miles

Nearest towns and villages
Amberley, Rackham, Storrington, Sullington, Washington.

Food and drink
Amberley has a good choice of places to eat and Storrington is a thriving small town which is a good place to stock up on provisions.

There's also a village shop in Amberley where you can stock up on provisions.

Public Transport
Amberley Railway Station is one of the best places to gain access to the South Downs by rail. There are infrequent bus services which pass through Storrington.

Hazards to look out for
Crosing the A24 dual carriageway can be a bit dicey. There is a detour with a route which takes you over a footbridge, but this involves a detour of around a mile.
