Embark on the Petworth Park loop from Tillington, a moderate hike through the picturesque South Downs National Park. This 7.3-mile (11.8 km) route features rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and expansive parkland, offering panoramic views of the South Downs and North Downs. You will gain about 674 feet (205 metres) in elevation over approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes, encountering varied terrain with grassy paths, footpaths, and bridleways that traverse fields and managed estates.
While the paths are mostly accessible, good fitness is required due to hilly sections and potentially uneven or steep terrain. The trail can become muddy during wetter seasons, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear. This loop is a popular choice, and you can expect a mix of undulating parkland and some flat sections, making for a diverse hiking experience.
This trail is notable for winding through the historic Petworth Park, a landscape designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown between 1751 and 1764. You will walk among magnificent ancient trees, some over 1000 years old, and have a high chance of spotting the UK's oldest and largest herd of fallow deer. The route also provides views of Petworth House and its beautiful lakes, adding to the rich historical and natural context of your hike.
