Singleton is located in the heart of the South Downs, approximately 7 miles north of Chichester on the A286. Charlton is less than a mile to the east of Singleton.

We parked between Singleton and Charlton and made our way to the hamlet of Charlton. Further information may be found here - http://www.westsussex.info/charlton.s.... One of Charlton's claims to fame is that it is the place where the first Womens Institute in England held its inaugural meeting during the First World War.

From here, we took the lane to the top of Charlton Down where we heard and saw numerous skylarks and pheasants, and enjoyed the sights and sounds of various fauna and flora. The views from the top are fabulous, and typical of this area of the South Downs; a joy to behold.

The path across the downs took us back toward Singleton, from which there are further spectacular views across the village and Downs beyond.

Singleton is simply a wonderful collection of historic buildings in architectural styles that are synonymous with this area of West Sussex. Further information about the village maybe found here - https://wikishire.co.uk/wiki/Singleto... and http://www.westsussex.info/singleton.....

The C11 St Mary's church, which has undergone many changes over the centuries, forms part of one of the iconic views of the village (06:47). More details of the church are available at https://sussexparishchurches.org/chur....

All background and natural sounds were recorded during our time filming.
