Come with us on a journey through Sussex Country and discover a landscape that epitomises rural England, and with two thirds designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty you are assured of breathtaking vistas wherever you turn.
To the north, take a moment and savour the breathtaking views from the open heathland of the Ashdown Forest, setting of the Winnie the Pooh stories and once a royal hunting ground of Edward III. In the south, visit the stunning Cuckmere Valley, home to the beautiful village of Alfriston and the beautiful Seven Sisters Country Park sitting against a backdrop of spectacular white chalk cliff coast line.
Just an hour from London this undiscovered piece of England is home to medieval villages bursting with antiques, arts and crafts whilst the towns play host to regular farmers markets with local produce to tempt the senses.
Immerse yourself in the landscape by enjoying a popular past-time such as walking, cycling, horseriding, fishing, golf or for the more adventurous why not try, sailing, rock-climbing, mountain biking, ballooning…the list is endless.
Some of Englands’ finest writers have found inspiration from living here, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Bloomsbury set and A.A.Milne all made Sussex Country their home.
