This is the southern Loop formed between the Benton Mackaye Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Traveling clockwise you travel north on the BMT until reaching the intersection at Fontana Dam in North Carolina with The AT. At which point you will travel south back to the start/finish at the southern terminus of the AT on Springer Mountain in North Georgia. This is an absolutely breathtaking route that throws the most challenging and majestic features the south east United States has to offer.

Description

Opened at Easter 2007, it links Horsham in West Sussex with Chichester Cathedral along a route rich in literary associations. The guidebook brings the walk alive with stories of the many and varied literary connections along the way. Percy Bysshe Shelley's millennium fountain marks the start of the trail. John Galsworthy would have crossed the River Arun by ferry from his house in Bury, whilst Bob Copper wrote a wonderful anecdote about the ferryman.
