With some of the most stunning landscapes, national parks and gardens in England, Sussex is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor explorers alike. For beach-lovers, there are over 140 miles of coastline, beaches and coastal paths to discover.
The South Downs National Park, stretching across the county, is home to the South Downs Way walking trail with chalk cliffs, ancient woodlands, and stunning views over the English Channel. You can also explore the High Weald National Landscape that stretches from Horsham down to Rye. You'll find rolling hills, sandstone outcrops and ancient routeways.
On the coast you’ll also find the Seven Sisters Country Park – a series of rolling hills that provide the backdrop for films including Harry Potter, and more recently Wicked. Or why not head to Ashdown Forest, which inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin?
Love gardening? Wakehurst – known as “Kew’s wild botanic garden” – features exotic plants and the Millennium Seed Bank. Nearby, Sheffield Park and Garden also delights visitors with vibrant displays throughout the seasons, from blooming azaleas in spring to fiery autumn colours.
