Nice steep climb from Charlton that levels off with a few spots overlooking the racecourse.

12% climb out of East Dean with the reward of a great descent down to Goodwood

If you can coincide it with a racing day, you might get to see some (brief) but free horse racing.

Nestled on the outskirts of Chichester, between the villages of Singleton and Upwaltham, the pretty village of East Dean lies in the scenic Upper Lavant Valley of the South Downs. This quaint settlement, steeped in history with traces of Celtic fields and Roman artifacts, has a timeless charm. It features a pond on the village green and a distinctive flint-walled pub called The Star and Garter. Surprisingly, despite its small size, East Dean proudly hosts a football team, a local institution founded over 130 years ago, competing in the West Sussex league.

Levin Down is easy to see. As you come over the ridge at Goodwood racecourse it stands alone – a hill covered in natural scrubby grass­land; the olive green hues are so different from the synthetic emerald of the agricultural fields and viridian forestry plantations that form the surrounding landscape. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest; indeed the reason that Levin has so much of its wildlife value still intact is hinted at in the name, which is derived from ‘Leave-Alone Hill’, meaning that the land was too steep for the plough or other intensive agriculture.

A series of undulating forest trails leads you around this gorgeous woodland near Goodwood Racecourse.

Sublime views north over the South Downs National Park across East Dean and over to Graffham & Heyshott Down in the distance.
