The South Downs National Park Authority are opening a new route through to Singleton Station and beyond to Cucumber Hill.
On the weekend of the 23rd and 24th August from 10am to 2pm, a small team from the National Park will be based at Singleton Station. They will be able to answer any questions and share ideas for days-out in the area and onward connections with the rights of way network.
Please be aware that there is no car parking at the Singleton Station site and people are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport. The 60 Bus Route runs regular services with stops nearby along the A286.
To find Singleton station, Ian Swann (Chair of FoCW) advises:
- Opposite the main West Dean College entrance (with grand wrought iron gates) is a “Biomass Boiler” and entrance to the Scout Hut.
- From here you can join the former rail bed and then cycle onward to Singleton Station.
The Google map shown below is for reference only, just to show where Singleton Station is located.
Currently, the Google direction algorithm is giving incorrect guidance on how to reach the station and is leading people astray from sensible routes.
However, the Google map below does still show the correct location but it is certainly best to follow Ian's written advice on how to reach the location safely.
For more information see the link below to the official South Downs National Park webpage about the project.
