Pleasant walk around the downs . Easy to miss the Elm trees which are sectioned off from the main footpath . Overall an enjoyable walk from The Horse, `chilgrove . Make sure you visit if in the area .

Taking your dog used to be great, but now they say dogs on leads due to animal grazing. Even though only small parts are fenced off with electric fences . It seems unfair to make all of Kingly for dogs on leads only.

One of my favourite hikes! Very nice scenery and multiple paths and routes to choose from so doesn’t get boring if you go again. The only thing I will say is the parking is not secure and very bumpy so would recommend parking nearby and not leaving anything valuable on show. Other than that I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful,historic ,ancient woodlands so tranquil,peaceful and so well maintained, surrounded by ancient yew trees that apparently are over a thousand years old.

Beautiful weather helped as the views were just breathtaking as far as the eye could see and the yes tree trail was like walking into a film set for LOTR/GOT. Fantastic.

Small carpark, refreshment van there, which was welcome! Good gravel path through countryside to yew trees, oldest in Europe. Their trucks & branches are beautiful. Well worth a visit.

We followed an AllTrails circular route from the Forestry Commission car park just north of Stoughton. Beautiful walk in through woods and plenty of climbing on both sides of the valley. Stopped at Hare and Hounds for a drink. The Tumuli at Devils Hump provided fantastic views down to the sea. Amazing old Yew trees. A fairly quiet walk with a few people just congregated at the Tumuli.

Best place is West Stoke Car Park. It does have a history or break-ins so please don’t leave anything of any value in your car. Walk to the yea tree is relatively flat and easy, but a decent walk to it. About 3km?

How much time should I plan for an easy walk around the forest?

You can do a nice walk in an hour however to see quite a bit of views and landmarks a couple of hours is better.
Dear jonathan B I love my tweed and I love my gas gazzering 4x4
I loved kingley vale which appeared to be full of happy families and normal happy children
It’s so nice to be made to feel welcome in your countryside when we visit our second home!
All the best

Hi. Sorry I do not know. There is tail leaflet.
visitchichester website has a trail map.
Enjoy.
Can you get a phone signal? Our son wants to organise a walk there with his friends for his birthday and as he will only be 14 would be good to know. Thanks

You can, it is sometimes patchy but usually ok. Other bits of the downs have less signal

Where's the best place to park to get here? We never seem to find it!

There is parking right where the path that leads to kingsley vale. If i'm not wrong it's the only path into kingleys vale, after u're parked its about a 20-30 min walk depending on your speed.
(The walk begins at the West Stoke car park, 3 miles=5 km north west of Chichester, West Sussex (postcode PO18 9BN grid ref SU 824 088). Walderton is also a possible start, postcode PO18 9ED.)
Once u get there it will be easy, go thru the gates signposted kingsley vale
