A fine circular walk from Plumpton station passing Plumpton Racecourse as you head towards the Downs across fields and stiles. The agricultural Plumpton College is reached after a couple of miles, and shortly after you pass the Elizabethan Plumpton Place and the Half Moon pub with a large garden nestling under the Downs. Head back to Plumpton via East Chiltington, where the Jolly Sportsman, another good pub with a large garden, is a short diversion away.

The Winning Post pub near Plumpton station is no more.
