Route Description:

Quiet cycle path beside the river Adur

We will meet at Shoreham and from there we head out on the Downs Link walking and cycle path. The Downs Link is a repurposed railway line that was disbanded in “Beeching cuts” and used to service the old cement works next to the river Adur.  

Castle ruins and beautiful countryside

The path takes us up to Bramber which is 1000 year old castle ruins and settlements. Leaving the castle we head north leaving Bramber we pass Wykham Farm and rejoin the old railway line. From here the ride is gentle through the West Sussex countryside, rolling over Victorian iron bridges. 

Coffee stop with lovely views

Riding upto Henfield we come to our second stop.  The Cabin coffee stop that is Adjacent to the cycle path and Commanding magnificent views of the south downs. 

From here we will head back down the path arriving in shoreham where the event will end at the pub if you wish to joins us.
