Warningcamp, Wepham, Burpham and River Arun

The walk begins in the village of Warningcamp, heading away from the river across rolling chalk downs. Descending into the tiny village of Wepham, the route continues into Burpham, featuring St Mary the Virgin Church with its 11th- and 12th-century architectural details and a memorial to jockey Benjamin Brewster.

The ancient 'Danish Fort' is a promontory fort occupying a spur between the River Arun and a tributary stream. From Jacob's Ladder, a flight of steps leads down to the water meadows and the river embankment.

Passing The George at Burpham and a wildfowl reserve, the route offers breathtaking views of Arundel Castle (whose most spectacular parts were rebuilt in the late 19th century by the 15th Duke of Norfolk). The path then follows the river bank back to Warningcamp.
