Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear on a public listing (OpenStreetMap or a trail listing) but could not be confirmed on their own website. Places on the South Downs Way are small and fill up from May to September and on summer weekends; book ahead and tell your host if you will arrive late. Many are 1 to 2 km below the ridge, so add the walk down and back to your day. Baggage-transfer companies need your bookings in advance.
