Walkers & Cyclists

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker walking the South Downs Way or occasional walker wanting something less strenuous there’s something to suit everyone – whatever your energy levels!

The 3 mile promenade will take you in one direction to Holywell, where you can either begin the long climb up to Beachy Head leading to miles of beautiful downland, or take the lower path by the sea. Walking in the other direction will take you to the marina at Sovereign Harbour.

Being keen walkers ourselves we are always willing to

• offer suggestions for walks
• discuss routes
• help with public transport times/taxi arrangements
  

Cyclists

Drusillas Park

Where getting nose to nose with nature is all part of the most memorable fun family day out you can imagine. Voted the number one attraction in Sussex for days out with the kids by Southern FM listeners and Argus readers, and now listed 12th in the Sunday Times 50 Best Days out in Britain. With hundreds of fascinating and entertaining creatures you can be certain there will be plenty of animal magic to enthral and excite everyone from the youngest to the oldest visitor! But animals are only half the fun at Drusillas, Go Bananas! and Go Wild! are paradise for anyone who needs to let off steam, packed with slides and swings, ropes and climbable things.
