Saturday 16 July – A Way into the Downs

Saturday 16 July – A Way into the Downs

The South Downs Way National Trail will be celebrating its 50 anniversary as the UK’s first long distance bridleway on Friday 15 July.

To mark this milestone, we invite you to get out and explore the trail.

Tag us on Twitter or Instagram with your wildlife and nature spots. Whether it’s the Bee orchid standing strong on a patch of chalk grassland or a slow worm basking in the summer sun, we want to see it and know about it.

Remember to also record your wildlife spots on the iNaturalist app!
