Walkers On The South Downs Way

The South Downs Way is one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales. It is a long distance footpath and bridleway running in southern England.

Most of it is on the high chalk downland of the Hampshire Downs and the South Downs.

The easternmost section is on high chalk cliffs.

It runs from Winchester in Hampshire, the first capital of England, for 100 miles (160 km) to the white chalk cliffs at Eastbourne in East Sussex. It has about 13,620 ft (4,150 m) of ascent and descent.

This photograph of two walkers was taken at the back of a car park on the South Downs on the road to Devil's Dyke.
