The Worth Way

Ideal for: Everyone
A relaxing walk awaits amid the beautiful rural landscape of West Sussex, so prepare for a very enjoyable experience

The Worth Way in West Sussex is a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, history and tranquility, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the English countryside. This scenic, 7-mile trail runs along the old railway line between Three Bridges and East Grinstead, providing a peaceful path through ancient woodlands, open fields and beautiful Sussex countryside. Its flat, accessible terrain makes it ideal for walkers, cyclists and even families with young children or pets. 

One of the Worth Way’s unique attractions is its historical background. Originally part of an important railway line, the route has retained much of its Victorian charm. Visitors can see remnants of old railway infrastructure, such as bridges and platforms, adding a nostalgic touch to the journey and reminding travelers of England's rich rail history. 

Wildlife enthusiasts will find plenty to appreciate, as the trail is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including birds, butterflies and wildflowers. Those with a keen ear can listen out for the likes of the chiffchaff and the nuthatch, to name but two. The changing seasons bring new experiences, from spring’s fresh blooms to autumn’s vibrant foliage, making it a year-round destination. With multiple picnic spots and benches along the way, the Worth Way provides numerous places to stop, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. 

Easily accessible by public transport, the Worth Way offers a wonderful, free and accessible escape into nature, combining both recreation and a glimpse into the past. It’s an ideal day out for those looking to connect with nature without straying too far from London or the South Coast.
