The South Downs

Spanning several counties, the South Downs National Park covers over 260 square miles of breathtaking landscapes, making it one of the UK’s most cherished natural regions. Renowned for its rolling hills and chalk-white cliffs, this stunning expanse offers unforgettable views across the South East of England. The South Downs is not just a haven of natural beauty; its ancient paths are steeped in British history, guiding you through the heart of the countryside. As you explore, you’ll encounter picturesque Roman towns and charming villages, each with its own unique character to discover. Food and drink enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy, from award-winning English sparkling wines produced at local vineyards like Nyetimber and Ridgeview to fresh, seasonal produce showcased in farm shops and food festivals.

The area is also a delightful refuge for wildlife enthusiasts, with a diverse array of flora and fauna thriving in its varied habitats. The journey through this scenic landscape culminates at the East Sussex coast, where the azure waves crash against the bright-white Seven Sisters Cliffs.
