Parking
The Juggs has a large car park. It's the pub's own, so ask before you leave the car there for a walk. From National Trails, The Juggs, undated, read 2 Oct 2026.
The stiles
The short 2010 directions mention 1 stile, straight after a gate on the hedged path back to the road near the end; everywhere else they mention gates. Counted from Christopher Somerville (first published in The Times)'s directions (23 January 2010).
The ground
Moderate grade. Steps up to the top of the down, the South Downs Way ridge, a bridleway down into Falmer Bottom and up again, then Dencher Road and a farmyard and hedged path back to the road by the pub.

On the Downs
Between 1 March and 31 July, dogs must be on a short lead (2 metres or less) on open access land, and near livestock at any time of year. Since 18 March 2026, a dog that worries livestock on a road or path, not just on farmland, is an offence.
The CROW Act 2000, Schedule 2; the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 as amended, in force 18 March 2026 (legislation.gov.uk).
If something goes wrong out there, an adder bite, a lost dog, a vet at night: help and emergencies.
