Chantry Lane

Highlight • Cycleway

This was a tough climb but the views are worth it! Just watch out on the way down it's very loose and bumpy

Tip by

7.25 km

Amberley Mount is a very steep off-road climb if you are travelling on the South Downs Way from west to east, which is generally the preferred direction for the long distance route. It has fantastic views to the north and west, overlooking Amberley and the Arun Valley, so worth the effort on a good day.
