Downs Link
Strider News - December 2020 (Path Update)
A new section of the Downs Link has been opened along a previously disused section on the old Guildford Railway Line behind Christ’s Hospital station, near Horsham. It means that anyone using this route between Mill Lane and Christ’s Hospital Station will now be able to do so safely off-road thus avoiding a stretch of around 2km of road walking.
