Walking & Hiking in Sussex
Sussex is the perfect place for lacing up your walking boots and enjoying the great outdoors. Whether you’re an experienced hiker, strolling with the kids, aiming for a digital detox or heading to the nearest country pub, you’ll find plenty of scenic walking routes.
After all, Sussex is home to 48 miles of the breathtaking 100-mile South Downs Way national trail. You can also enjoy stunning sections of the King Charles III England Coast Path, which hugs Sussex’s coastline.
For those who enjoy woodland walks, the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers ancient woodlands, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. Travelling with a four-legged friend? They’ll love it here almost as much as you do.
