A rolling road over the South Downs from Haslemere to the sea.
The A286 crosses the South Downs from Haslemere down through the Weald and over the chalk at Singleton towards Chichester. It is a varied road of woods, villages and downland; mind the cyclists, the horse-riders near Goodwood and the tourist traffic on race days.
