I walked this route solo on an overcast day at the beginning of September. All in all this is a very attractive route along quiet paths well away from roads and traffic noise. There were two points where the route took off from a very quiet lane to take footpaths only to rejoin the same lane a little further up the road....

A really nice long walk (took me 28km and 6 hours including a lunch pause). - Some nice sections of the Monarch's Way, Serpent Trail and a small part of South Downs Way. - Former phone box near Sutton providing leaflets with local information and a large scale local map - The White Horse Inn in Sutton which looks like it would be a nice place for some lunch and refreshment (though I didn't try it)...

Very pleasant - nice stroll along the Arun with views of the castle, then a nice wander along the valley from Warningcamp into Wepham wood....

This is a lovely walk, along the Arun valley and up, over and back down the South Downs into Storrington (I actually did it in reverse, on 11/11/23)....

If I could, I'd give the first part of this walk from Arundel to Ford 3 stars and the second part from Ford to Bognor Regis 5 stars!...

Heading south where the path is closed adds km's to your journey, but will have you joining back up with the route the other side of the blockage. The only other small blockage we found was crossing the road at the roundabout on the A259, although works there were all but done, and we found our way across by a slightly alternative route easily enough....

Despite this, it was easy going, with only a small patch of boggy terrain slowing progress in Paines' Wood - I nearly made it back with mud-free trousers, but for one poorly placed boot disappearing into what was more stream than trail! No other access issues encountered, and there's only one busy road crossing (Chichester road on the approach to Arundel)....

If approaching from the east, simply cross directly over the road onto the lane and follow it around....

I really enjoyed walking this route!...

A small section of the bridleway in the woods near warningcamp was temporarily closed due to logging to prevent ash dieback....

I walked this route from Arundel to Bognor on 27-06-2022. From Ford the route heads across sections of the old airfield, across fields and around the side of old warehouses to reach Yapton....

This route is currently (20-06-2022) blocked along the lane between Lyminster and Poling at the Lyminster end. However in the long-term this will probably be the best walking route between Arundel and Worthing....

A great summer walk alongside the river Arun from Littlehampton to Arundel...

We walked from Littlehampton to Arundel after a couple of weeks of dry weather in April. At Ford the route passes close by the Ford railway station and a pub (The Ship & Anchor)....

Under the bridge on Bridge Road (A259) if it is flooded you may need to go up the bank and around but other than that the route was fairly easy to walk. It was a very pleasant walk following the river up to Arundel and then after lunch we walked along it back to where we started in Littlehampton....

I walked this on 18/03/2022 from Findon to Arundel as Leg#2 of a Steyning->FIN->ARU. At the Arundel end, the route crosses the railway tracks but this route is not very busy....

This is a fantastic route which I have reviewed in full on route ARUSTO Two. The issue with ARUSTO One is as described by the previous reviewers. The bridleway as marked on the OS map does not exist on the ground....

The final section along the levee bank of the River Arun into the town is a beautiful finale. From the foot of Kithurst Hill, the route is straight up. The route itself from the top of the climb now descends gently for three or four miles to the village of Burpham....

I met up with my friend at Littlehampton station. We met three people walking the other way, from ARUNDEL to Littlehampton a cyclist and a chap with a theodolite. I walked the quiet route, into the town to see friends, I’d lived there for years, and then, exhausted, went to stand at the bus stop where I waited for ages for the late, once an hour bus back to Littlehampton - Evidently I’d just missed one and should have taken a bus time table!...

The route takes you through several small villages and past many chocolate box thatched cottages, finishing with a climb up onto the rolling parkland of Arundel Castle....

TheIncidentals

Most of this part was wheel friendly and fully accessible however on occasion it strayed on to the pebbly beach, but, you could easily go a little in land on to grass/park land or the pavement by the road without going far at all from the mapped route. Whilst the verge is wise, there is a cycle/foot path on the other side of the road and a safer crossing point which I would recommend the route is changed to. The route suggests going down a footpath down the side of the school....

The first section follows woodland paths out of Arundel and along the Scotland path through Binsted woods....

The gpx file cuts off a corner to the north-west of Burpham. I think it should follow the orange line on the screenshot, but couldn't find it at the time....
