발컴 주변 최고의 러닝 경로

Trail shoes sufficient over hiking shoes

There is a local car park at the Activity Centre leading straight onto the walk around the reservoir. Currently the foot path is very wet and muddy in places but would be a nice walk spring/summer/ autumn. There are a few benches around the reservoir for stopping and taking in the view.

The perimeter path around the reservoir is very muddy in places currently due to the amount of rain. Welly boots needed in some places.

The Sussex Ouse Valley Way is a 42-mile (68 km) long-distance footpath that basically follows the course of the River Ouse from its source to the sea. It starts from Lower Beeding near Horsham to the coast at Seaford. It is generally regarded as an easy footpath, as most of the route is flat riverside walking. It is a very scenic journey as it goes through beautiful quintessential English countryside for most of its journey. Here by Upper-Ryelands Bridge on Border Hill Lane, you come across the fantastic structure of the Ouse Valley Viaduct that stretches out across you in all its magnificent structural glory, simply a stunning view.

This is the location of the only (single) public toilet on this route, and there’s also a kiosk for hot and cold drinks and ice creams. Long queues for both.

Also a Local Nature Reserve, Ardingly Reservoir was built in the 1970s. It is a wildlife haven with Ospreys even seen here. There are two bird hides on this eastern shore while the south eastern end is a hive of watersports activity.

This spot is where you will get the classic standing in the archway infinity shots which are really cool but be prepared for a bit a queue to take them. A really busy place for a good reason.

Apart from a café bar where you can stop for a break, this center offers a variety of activities at Ardingly Reservoir, including junior and adult sailing, paddleboard rentals, and the opportunity to try windsurfing, among others.
