Pulborough

Distance from the South Downs Way: Four miles

Pulborough is a large village located on the edge of the South Downs National Park in the heart of West Sussex. It first came to prominence in Roman times as a fording place over the River Arun, being on the route of the ancient Roman road Stane Street, which runs from Chichester to London.

It sits near the confluence of the River Rother and the River Arun, looking southwards towards the South Downs over the flood plain of the tidal Arun. It’s perhaps best known for being home to the Pulborough Brooks RSPB nature reserve, which is well worth a visit.
