Illustrative image

East Sussex is chalk downland that ends in white cliffs. The Seven Sisters roll from Birling Gap towards Cuckmere Haven, Beachy Head carries the path past Belle Tout Lighthouse, and the South Downs Way crosses from Alfriston to Seaford. Inland you can wander Ashdown Forest, climb Ditchling Beacon or Firle Beacon, and ride the Cuckoo Trail from Heathfield down to Polegate.

History is close at hand. You'll hear about the 1066 battlefield at Battle Abbey, the net shops of Hastings Old Town, Rye's citadel, Lewes Castle and Harvey's Brewery, the Bloomsbury Group at Charleston Farmhouse, and Pooh Sticks Bridge in the forest.
