The South Downs Way
Steyning Bowl
Paragliders particularly enjoy the Steyning Bowl because it has slopes which face in many different directions. This means that the crazy folk who want to throw themselves off the side of the hill are likely to find a suitable air current to sweep them up to a dizzying height.
As you approach Steyning Bowl you will probably notices the chinky flint memorial to local farmers Mr and Mrs Walter and Mollie Langmead.
As you leave the Steyning Bowl the South Downs Way passes to the south of a small triangular clump of trees called the Bramber Beeches.
The Bramber Beeches were bought with money donated by branches of the Womens Insitute from all over Sussex to mark the Sussex WI's diamond jubilee in 1979 - a fittingly local tribute, expecially because the first ever WI meeting took place in Sussex in the Fox at Charlton.
