A walk in the South Downs National Park

On Bank Holiday Monday (26 Aug 2013), I went for an enjoyable walk with my brother Mike.

We walked across part of the Sussex Downs

We started from the 'Smugglers Rest' pub/restaurant in Telscombe, Peacehaven, East Sussex. On my previous visits, some years ago, it was known as the 'Badgers Watch'.

From there, we journeyed over part of the Sussex Downs, starting from Telscombe Tye, an area of common land between the coast and Telscombe Village.

We walked through green and pleasant countryside...

through farmland...

and arrived at the 'Abergavenny Arms' in Rodmell...

We had a couple of pints in the attractive beer garden before restarting our walk back to Telscombe.

NOTE:

About 500 yards down the lane at the side of the pub. is Monk's House, the home of the author Virginia Woolf for twenty-one years until her death in 1941. When I lived in the UK, I was a member of the National Trust and visited the little cottage on two occasions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monk%27s_House

One of the signposts on the walk was marked "To the Pub"!

We ended our walk with a pint at the 'Smugglers Rest'...
