April 2026
We drove down to the South Downs and took lunch at the Rising Sun in Nutbourne. A good traditional pub with good value food.
Our afternoon walk was nearby, near Pulborough, clockwise from West Chiltington church (St Mary's) to Nutbourne and with a short cut back between points 20 and 4. It is Walking World ID 4315, desscribed as
"A circular walk including a very pleasant old English village (having an ancient church with famous medieval paintings and village stocks and whipping-post from the 1600s), through a vineyard with views of the South Downs, woodland and farmland."
The Chiltington church has remarkable medieval wall paintings and an unusual wood tile steeple.
Our Airbnb was just right, a short distance out of Nutbourne, with a bedroom each and ample communal space. On a farm, we were free to roam and our hosts were very friendly.
In the evening we ate at Frankland Arms, Washington. Again good range of pub food and very good value.
