Sussex Hospice Trail - a 200 mile route connecting 12 hospice areas

The Sussex Hospices Trail is made up of 26 mapped walks and was created to raise awareness and funds for our hospices. It covers a total of more than 200 miles of  Sussex from Chichester in the east, via Brighton & Hove to St Leonards in the west and it reaches as far north as Horsham. Each walk is available as a downloadable leaflet or via AllTrails.

Kathy's Walks the Trail Diary

I'm setting off on 1 July to walk all 200 miles of the Sussex Hospices Trail to raise money for Friends of Sussex Hospices. I am aiming to complete the walk by 31 July.

The Trail has 26 sections, from three to eleven miles and I hope to do one of these sections each day with the odd day off to give my feet a rest! Find out about my progress in my trail diary.

Walk No.1 Chichester to Barnham

The weather was perfect for walking - much kinder than yesterday’s wet and windy conditions. My mum, who’s been living with me since lockdown, is in charge of the weather for the duration of my walk ...
