Kink in the South Downs Way At this point the OS Map shows that the route of the South Downs Way turns left through the gate. It then heads north for a short distance before resuming its easterly direction.  However, the route ahead provides a short cycle route to seemingly avoid having to use the gate, but is probably used by all users of the trail.
