Set against the spectacular backdrop of the South Downs, this four-day walk links medieval churches in a crescent-shaped route from Portchester to Chichester. Here the genesis of a modern pilgrim route was formed - Mary's Crescent. Each day ends near a country pub, with plenty of refreshment stops in between.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of the South Downs, this four-day walk links medieval churches in a crescent-shaped route from Portchester to Chichester. Here the genesis of a modern pilgrim route was formed - Mary's Crescent - highlighting a wealth of ancient ecclesiastical architecture nestled in breathtaking scenery.
The churches, each dedicated to St Mary, are a fascinating window into our Saxon and Norman past. From the priory church of Portchester to the magnificent Lady Chapel at Chichester Cathedral, with the simple single-celled church of North Marden and the five Norman gems of Droxford, Buriton, South-Harting, Singleton and East Lavant in-between, this route connects us to these historical landmarks in need of continued attention to preserve them for future generations.
Each day ends near a country pub providing excellent food and accommodation, with plenty of refreshment stops in between.
Includes detailed walking instructions and maps throughout.

Dr Tim Goulder was a GP in Denmead and Hambledon for 40 years and has a great love of walking in his local countryside. He has always found a walk was enhanced by visiting a country village pub for a meal and a pint and increasingly over time became more interested in the local churches.
