Our hosts get to walk the length and breadth of East Sussex with the four-legged friends they look after. Here’s their short roundup of the top walking spots in the area.
Just on the outskirts of Brighton, Stanmer Park and Estate is a prime example of the great countryside that’s available in the area. With huge woodland areas and open parkland to explore, it’s a popular spot with dog walkers. If you and Fido are feeling adventurous, there’s plenty of opportunity for you to roam into the surrounding countryside.
If your pooch loves nothing more than practicing his or her doggie paddle, Brighton Seafront is the place to be. Dogs are permitted on the beach from 1 October to 30th April, so there’s ample opportunity to enjoy the sand and scenery on offer.
Located in the South Down’s National Park, this Country Park is made up of over 280 hectares of chalk cliffs, river and open chalk grassland. You and your pup can choose a range of footpaths and trails, depending on how energetic you’re both feeling!
If you and your furry friend have explored all of East Sussex’s beaches, you might be on the hunt for a walk in the woods. Great Battle Woods offers over 460 acres of coniferous woodland and streams, with historic connections to Battle Abbey.
Originally a deer hunting forest in the Norman era, Ashdown Forest is a great dog walking spot. It offers a unique environment bursting with wildlife, such as deer, Pygmy Shrew and unusual butterflies. This Forest does have a high number of adders, so be sure to keep an eye on Fido.
