This second route option is a delightful and energetic walk to the north of the village. This walk has more hills and less woodland than the first route, so you will be treated to some wonderful views when you walk over Telegraph Hill. The walk also visits the small village of Compton with it's pub, vicarage and tea room to enjoy. There is a 500m section of walking on a footpath alongside a busy road on the route. This is the shortest of the woodland walks in Abbots Wood. It's known as the Oak Walk Trail and it is a circular walk that enjoys and Oak woodland and is especially nice in the spring when the Bluebells are in bloom. This long walk is worth getting up early for; it rewards you with picturesque views and passes through some charming Sussex villages. The route starts in lovely Lewes, so make sure to fuel up at one of the town’s fantastic breakfast spots before you head off. You’ll start from the train station, leaving the town towards Mount Caburn, a fascinating Iron Age hill fort whose purpose is rumoured to be sacred rather than defensive. This area is also a nature reserve, so it’s worth stopping for a moment for a bit of wildlife spotting and admiring the views over the River Ouse and towards Firle Beacon. The South Downs Way is an ancient pathway that takes you through the rolling hills and valleys of the South Downs National Park.
This is a lovely short family-friendly short walking loop around Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. You will walk alongside the River Rother down to the beach. Then you'll walk along the beach for a while before completing the loop through some lakes and open land. You can expect lots of birds and wildlife on this lovely walk. Nymans Woods are just outside Handcross, near Haywards Heath in West Sussex. The woodland is National Trust owned and is part of the Nymans House estate. There are three designated walks through the woods, although on my last visit, I just casually followed the path. It’s quite hard to get lost here, so it’s a great Easter or Sussex walk, when you may be nattering with family or friends. This is a lovely short woodland stroll around the delightful Darwell Wood. It can be especially wonderful in the spring when you can find carpets of bluebells and wild garlic. Situated on the South Downs, Cissbury Ring is an ideal location for a country ramble in England. The 2.1-mile (3.4-kilometer) circular walk around the hill is full of ancient history and stunning panoramas.The town of Lewes is easy to get to from Brighton with regular train & bus services to the town. From Lewes there are several trails to try including three routes arond Malling Hill. These are hilly walks so we suggest a post-trek visit to one of the townsmany pubs to try a pint of Harveys - brewed in Lewes. Link to Malling Hill map and route details This second route option is basically an extension to the first walk. As well as enjoying Battle Hill and the Great Wood, it also heads off on an adventure to Caldbec Hill that you'll find to the north of the town. There are some pubs in Battle for refreshments and there is some quiet roadside walking on the route. Stretching seven miles, the Seven Sisters Country Park offers a stunning walk with plenty of sights to behold. More difficult walking across woodland and fields with numerous hills, stiles and some muddy paths. This second route is effectively an extension of the first route. It still enjoys the simple open countryside paths from the first route, but this extension also enjoys a short section of woodland walking and a visit to the village of Nuthurst where you'll find a pub for some refreshments. As with the first route, there is a short section of walking along a road at the start, so please be careful here.
The residents of West Marden are really spoilt for lovely walks in all directions, and this fourth route heads west out of the village towards Markwells wood and the village of Idsworth where you'll visit a pretty church. As with the other routes, there is a lovely pub in the village of West Marden to enjoy after your adventure.Typical country walk along lanes and some fields, with some hills and stiles. Paths can be muddy (depending on weather). While Brighton's 'blue space' is well-known people are often surprised by the amount of 'green space' within the city limits. There are two walks in the Hollingbury area of the city which is easily accessible from the city centre either on foot, by bike, bus or train (Moulsecoomb). Link to Hollingbury Park & Castle map and route details From families with young children to avid ramblers and everyone in-between, this precious landscape has something for everyone to enjoy.
As I make my way further along the trail, I’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the coast and sea, before reaching a peak with panoramic views of the entire area. As you walk, you’ll be able to spot some of Sussex’s native wildlife, including deer, badgers, hares, and foxes. You’ll also be able to take in some of the area’s Neolithic and Iron Age remains, including the ancient hill fort of Highdown Hill.

The woodlands around Swanbourne Lake in Arundel are one of my favourite places to walk at this time of year. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful stroll or an adrenaline-filled adventure, Ashdown Forest has something for everyone. High Weald Walk This third route is basically a nice long open countryside walk around the undulating downs south of Chantry Hill. There is some climbing throughout the walk, but it's not too steep at any point. You could also link this to the first route to make a pleasant figure of 8 route with fabulous views, lots of fresh air, but not too much climbing.
