Walk directions

From the car park turn left to the crossroads and bear left into pedestrianised East Street. At the next crossroads go left into Market Square and pass to the left of the battlemented and turreted Town Hall. Beyond you pass into The Causeway. It leads to the parish church, first passing Horsham Museum, a pale green rendered and gabled Tudor house.

Skirt left of the parish church of St Mary, keep to the right of the houses and leave the churchyard on a path to the right of The Lodge to keep ahead on a tarmacked track across a footbridge, then along the edge of a semi-wooded area and alongside a cricket field to cross the railway line on a footbridge. Continue ahead past a footpath post, bearing half right to ascend to the corner of the field. Through the hedge gap continue ahead alongside a deep sunken way with the woods on your left. The path passes through the edge of the woods and through a ramshackle kissing gate emerging at crest level. Head for a footpath post ahead.
