A walking guide with thirty detailed walks that explores some of the less-frequented footpaths and bridleways of Sussex. It recalls the history of these areas as well as some of the lives of those associated with them.
Southern Tracks, Trails & Twittens is a walkers guide that explores the varied, stunning landscape of southern Sussex. Walks from the High Weald, where the 16th century iron industry ruled the day, along the springline and across the great domes of the South Downs, onward to the western coastal plain.
Early settlers tilled the soil, leaving field systems, burial mounds and earthworks. Drovers forged routes into the Wealden forest. Romans built villas and roads that remain to this day. Later invaders constructed castles and churches and took stock of their acquisitions. Settlements, villages and towns evolved. Footpaths, bridleways and deep holloways became the trodden earthen network for people in their workaday lives. Land was farmed, oxen dragged ploughs, shepherds tended sheep; in towns markets traded, pilgrims passed through, rivers were highways, and all were linked by a cat’s cradle of tracks and trails, some of which this book explores. There were rebels too, taking on injustice, creating a stir, Sussex people not being druv – walk with them in this book.
