A circular walk from the Juggs in Kingston that climbs to the South Downs Way on the Kingston ridge, drops through Castle Hill National Nature Reserve into Falmer Bottom, crosses Pickers Hill near the John Harvey memorial cross, and comes back down Dencher Road and through a farmyard to the pub. It dates from January 2010, so the pub details are old. The source gives miles only (7 miles, converted).
The ground
Moderate grade. Steps up to the top of the down, the South Downs Way ridge, a bridleway down into Falmer Bottom and up again, then Dencher Road and a farmyard and hedged path back to the road by the pub.
Livestock
The source mentions no livestock.

The line on the map
Most waypoints are the article's own grid references, converted from OSGB36 to WGS84 with an approximate Helmert transform that is good to a few metres.
The route is from Christopher Somerville (first published in The Times): read it at the source before you go (23 January 2010). The line on the map is drawn by Lewes Dogs on OpenStreetMap data (ODbL). With a dog? Lewes Dogs has this walk, with the rules and the livestock.
