The George at Burpham

Highlight • Restaurant

Outdoor 'street seating' with excellent Sunday roasts. Very quiet and scenic area.

Tip by

6.34 km

A heart-pounding climb will bring you to a glorious ridgetop where you will be afforded some magnificent views across the rolling hills and lush green landscapes that make up the South Downs National Park. To the west is Rackham Hill, and to the east, Kithurst, Chantry, and Sullington Hill.

View from Amberley Mount

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amberley Mount is a very steep off-road climb if you are travelling on the South Downs Way from west to east, which is generally the preferred direction for the long distance route. It has fantastic views to the north and west, overlooking Amberley and the Arun Valley, so worth the effort on a good day.

View from Amberley Mount

Highlight • Summit

The summit of Amberley Mount is around 660 feet (200 m) above sea level, and offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Isle of Wight to the south and the North Downs to the north. It's one of the toughest climbs on the South Downs Way (from west to east).

There's a gate off the main path leading to an open grassy area where you can stop for a picnic and admire the views over Amberley Brooks.

View of the Arun Valley from Burpham Benches

Highlight • Viewpoint

The village of Burpham is built on the side of Perry Hill to avoid the risk of flooding from the River Arun.

Next to St Mary's Church is a grassy viewpoint with benches overlooking the Arun valley. It's a peaceful spot with beautiful west-facing views, offering an ideal location for watching the sunset.

Just around the corner is The George pub, a 17th-century gem in the heart of the village.

St Mary the Virgin Church, Burpham

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of St Mary the Virgin dates to before the 11th century. The church is mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Although parts of the church are preconquest the north transept and the arch to the south transept are early 12th century. The vaulted chancel is 13th century and the west tower 15th century.
