South Downs Campaign

A 9-mile walk was held at Harting Down on Sunday 8th July, attended by over 100 people, to support the campaign to achieve the best possible South Downs National Park. This is to celebrate the 60th anniversary of recommending this national park. CPRE is a member of the South Downs Campaign. See the newsletter article (link above) for details of CPRE activities over the last few years.
