Holidays in Sussex
Boasting green pastures, rolling hills, and chalk-white cliffs, Sussex is home to a myriad of untouched landscapes and family-friendly activities, making it a truly diverse holiday destination.
Beaches in Sussex
Home to iconic cliffs, pebble-strewn havens, and pretty harbourside towns and villages, nothing quite compares to the Sussex coast. One of the most famous beaches in Sussex thanks to its golden sands and undulating dunes, Camber Sands is a popular destination for very good reason. Sussex boasts a superb mix of dog-friendly beaches, from the peaceful setting of Cuckmere Haven in East Sussex to the wild and wonderful Thorney Island in West Sussex where powder-soft sands and views across Chichester Harbour await. Of course, connecting these gorgeous beaches is a series of breathtaking coastal footpaths, so pull on your walking boots and soak up some of the best views in Sussex, from the film-famous Seven Sisters to the lofty heights of Beachy Head.
Things to do in Sussex
It’s almost impossible to run out of things to do in Sussex. From the rambling landscapes of the South Downs National Park and High Weald National Park (both of which are a haven for walkers) to the county’s fascinating history, fill your days with as much or as little as you like. Historians will love exploring the area’s many castles, which tell tales of famous battles lost and won, while unique landmarks such as Wakehurst Place and The Observatory Science Centre promise glorious gardens to explore. Whether you love literature or nature, a walk through Ashdown Forest is a must. The inspiration behind the Hundred Acre Wood in Winnie-the-Pooh, this tranquil woodland is a great spot for a Sunday stroll with the family.
Places to eat in Sussex
Full of award-winning vineyards and a coastline chock-full of seafood, Sussex is a fabulous holiday destination for foodies. Restaurants create mouthwatering menus out of fresh, local ingredients, while quaint cafés welcome you in for homemade cakes and hearty breakfasts - the perfect start to your day of exploring. Stop by one of the county’s cosy pubs for a rib-stickingly good Sunday lunch or a Michelin star eatery for some fine dining. Naturally, with such rich landscapes, Sussex’s farm shops are kept incredibly well-stocked, making them ideal for filling the cupboards and picnic basket.
