The South Downs Way

Combine scenic walks along the South Downs Way laced with history with stays in boutique luxury hotels, transfers to the start/end of walks and bag transfers between hotels.

This tour, offered by The Carter Company, covers the full South Downs Way but they are happy to tailor the tour length and daily walking distances to suit.

The unforgettable South Downs Way runs for 100 miles along ancient routes and droveways on the chalk escarpment and rounded ridges between Winchester and Eastbourne on the south coast of England. History and panoramas are at every turn and yet the walk is peaceful, silence is golden broken only by skylarks and peewits, sheep quietly grazing, hares racing through scrub and orchids or perhaps a horse threading along the track. Villages, even less towns, are few and far between – snuggling at the foot of the downs but just enough to call you down for refreshment and rest.

This South Downs Way walking holiday includes a mix of luxury 2 night stays and transfers where needed to the start or end of the day’s walking.
