Arundel
Even from a distance Arundel is imposing and impressive; Gothic spires jut out from the cathedral which overlooks the town, and the picture-postcard castle can be seen towering over the low-lying marsh grounds and River Arun. The town centre has a variety of eateries, independent shops, art spaces and antique stores.
East Dean
This beautiful village in the South Downs National Park is situated just half a mile inland from the dramatic cliffs of Birling Gap and Beachy Head and features a popular old smugglers’ pub called The Tiger. Its large village green is bordered by flint houses, a café, gift shop and a decent deli serving great coffee and local produce.
Eastbourne
Fronted by three miles of shingle beach, Eastbourne is a quintessential, old-fashioned seaside resort with a seafront promenade and a much-loved bandstand. Its streets are lined with grand, Victorian buildings and Italianate architecture. The Towner Gallery, close to the seafront, is popular for its contemporary art exhibitions, and its annual Air Show attracts thousands of visitors.
Seven Sisters
Jutting into the English Channel on the Sussex Heritage Coast, the Seven Sisters is an iconic range of chalk cliffs formed by millions of years of erosion and coastal remains. This geological wonder is a breeding place for sea birds such as peregrine falcons, kittiwakes and fulmars. As well as the distinctive white chalk cliffs, the Seven Sisters Country Park is also made up of 280 hectares of river valley and chalk grassland.
Rathfinny
According to Rathfinny Wine Estate, Romans claimed that the best location to plant a vineyard was three miles from the sea. This is exactly where the Driver family have positioned their vineyard. Located on the same band of chalk that forms the Paris Basin, running from northern France into southern England, their intention is to create world-class sparkling wine.
Alfriston
Alfriston is one of the oldest villages in the country and for that reason it's a popular spot for visitors. A plethora of historic buildings stretches along the high street and beyond to the parish church of St Andrew and the famous Clergy House.
Lewes
Lewes is certainly one of the most attractive market towns in Sussex and an ideal visitor destination. It is relatively small, yet filled with historic buildings such as Lewes Castle and the Anne of Cleves House. It's also home to Harvey's Brewery and a handful of their pubs.
Firle
The sleepy hamlet of Firle (on the Firle Estate) is approximately four miles from the market town of Lewes. The village sits at the foot of Firle Beacon amongst the rolling Sussex Downs, an area famous for inspiring the works of artists such as Eric Ravilious. With an ancient and characterful pub (The Ram Inn), a 12th-century church and an olde-worlde village shop, you feel as though you have stepped back in time as soon as you enter Firle.
Broadstairs
The main attraction in Broadstairs is its magnificent horseshoe beach named Viking Bay. With its clifftop promenade and family activities, the area has an essence of old-world seaside charm, with its colourful beach huts and anchored fishing boats.
Don’t be fooled by its rural setting and elegant demeanour, inside TheSuffield Arms is a heady concoction of styles that commands yourattention.
