Owned and managed by West Sussex County Council, Buchan Country Park is a haven for quiet recreation and is popular with local dog walkers. While dogs are welcome, their owners are obliged to clear up any mess their dogs leave. Dog bins are provided for this purpose.

Hi Sam i have just joined the forum and saw that you walk in Buchan Park. I am slightly confused because your message mentions meeting in car park adjacent to cafe. As far as i am aware there is no cafe at Buchan although there are toilets which you say there isn't? Anyway may well be interested in joining your walk thanks Dee

Hi Dee,

When we did the recee, there was a refreshments hut adjacent to the car park. I agree cafe was the wrong choice of word submitted in error as I was registering a couple of the Sussex walks at the same time in haste! So we will be meeting in the car park adjacent to the hut, the one accessed from the Westbound carriageway of the A2220. I have looked at a couple of Buchan Park websites which give conflicting information, one says there are refreshments the other says there are none so if you are certain there are no refreshments there I will modify the details on the listing. I stand corrected re the toilets and have also ammended the details regarding the loos. ;)
Look forward to maybe seeing you there. :)
