A famously characterful run across the Sussex Weald.
The A272 threads the Sussex Weald from Midhurst eastward, a beloved, quirky road of villages, hangers and sudden bends that has inspired its own cult following. It is a relaxed but constantly changing road; mind the villages, the cyclists and the slow farm traffic.
