We are so lucky at Raylands Park to have the downslink on our doorstep. This is a 37-mile (59km) shared-use route linking the North Downs Way in Surrey with Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex.
About
The Downs Link is a long-distance route for walkers, horse riders and cyclists which follows two disused railway lines. It crosses the Surrey Hills, the Low Weald, the South Downs and the Coastal Plain. Since the trains departed in the 1960s, the embankments and cuttings have become a green corridor for wildlife and people.
The route uses Public Rights of Way, including sections of farm tracks and the road network. All the Downs Link is surfaced, although some sections are uneven and include slopes.
