Amberley and the River Arun walk

This 3.5 mile walk from Amberley is ideal as a short stroll mixed with plenty of chatting and eating. The walk starts and finishes at Amberley rail station, which is served by trains direct from London Victoria. Click ‘View Website’ for more information.

Access notes

  • The first half of the walk is flat and follows riverside paths that can be very muddy and waterlogged in the wetter months so good boots are a must and wellingtons are recommended in winter.
  • The second half follows quiet lanes and includes a fairly steep ascent and equivalent descent back to the village.
  • You will need to negotiate 7 stiles along the way (all of which have gaps alongside for dogs to pass through) and there is also a pedestrian rail crossing on route so take particular care at this point.
  • You may come across cattle within some of the riverside meadows.
