The Butts Brow and Jevington Circular Walk is located in a beautiful area of South Downs National Park and showcases the stunning scenery that this park is known for. Heading from the carpark, you will begin your walk along the furthest eastern edge of the South Downs. The path will take you into the small village of Jevington, where you can see traditional flint cottages lining the streets. Continue along this path until you reach the area where you began, as this is a circular walk.
Or just head up and across the downs for an easy going stroll.
