Walks in the South Downs National Park

Freelance author, photojournalist and lecturer Kev Reynolds has walked, trekked or climbed in some of the world's most spectacular mountains and landscapes, including the Alps, Nepal, Norway, Peru, the Pyrenees and Turkey (to name but a few). Despite having such a well-travelled CV, he retains a keen passion for the more homely landscapes of southern England - especially the South Downs, which he visits at every opportunity.
