The Centurion Way is a 6.8 mile (11km) path that runs between Chichester, Lavant, West Dean and Singleton using the former Chichester to Midhurst Railway line, which closed in 1991.
The name, Centurion Way, was suggested by a local schoolboy and is based on the fact that the path crosses the course of a Roman road.
Led by the South Downs National Park Authority working with a range of partners and landowners, Centurion Way is a shared use path suitable for walkers, cyclists, families with buggies/pushchairs and wheelchair users.
The route has recently been extended from West Dean to Cucumber Farm, and South Downs Trust is supporting work for planned further extensions to link the trail up with the 100-mile long South Downs Way National Trail in Cocking.
