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

Mill Pond is located within the Chichester Harbour AONB nestled among beautiful countryside and salt marshes. The pond and surrounding wetlands are rich in wildlife, including waders, ducks, and swans. Historically the pond was part of a watermill system used for grinding grain.

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.

The Reeds, nestled in the village of Bosham, is a renowned tidal inlet. Surrounded by salt marshes and reed beds, it's a paradise for birdwatchers and nature seekers.

This beautiful Norman Church of St. Mary’s that we see today was built between 1150 and 1200, but was preceded by a smaller one that is listed in Domesday Book of 1086. Whether or not it was a Saxon building is not certainly known but the manor of Mapledurham, of which Buriton was the centre, was Saxon.

South pond is a historic and scenic pond in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. It is fed by two streams that were once the boundaries of Saxon settlements, and it forms the division between the oldest part of Midhurst and West Lavington. The pond was created in the mid-1100s by one of the medieval lords of Midhurst, who dammed the streams to make a breeding pool for fish. The pond has been used for various purposes over the centuries, such as milling, fulling, leather production, and entertainment. The pond is now a nature reserve and a popular spot for walking, fishing, and birdwatching. It is part of the South Downs National Park and has a rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The pond is also home to the South Pond Group, a voluntary community group that works to care for and improve the pond and its surroundings. The group organizes regular events, activities, and projects to engage the public and enhance the pond’s beauty and value.

The village of Buriton enjoys an idyllic setting at the foot of the downs, complete with a duck pond. Next to the pond is the Church of Saint Mary, a beautiful building dating back to the 12th Century. <https://southdownsdiscovery.com/destination-guides/buriton/>
