    This is a lovely section of the South Downs Way which climbs north from Falmer on the A27 through up an open track. It then descends along the woodland Bunkershill Plantation before emerging in an open landscape towards Blackcap.
      The section through the woods is so much fun to go down. A leafy haven on hot summer days. Roots galore, so stay alert!
