Parking information: | Parking is limited and the areas available are restricted. What3Words: earl.action.studs The main parking is on the Old London Road which is a dead end. Access after the Washington roundabout is from the northbound A24 using the filter for Thakeham followed by an immediate left turn. There are some private houses requiring access. Please park considerately. Note that on leaving the exit is A24 Northbound or along the minor Rock Road towards Storrington.

Course description: | Our first use of Washington Common (Warren Hill) for over 20 years. A lovely area, mainly runnable pinewood and natural woodland on a sandy ridge. Donated to the National Trust in 1942 to protect the area from being turned into yet another sandpit (as per adjacent areas).
