Visitor Guides
Sussex is a fascinating mix of sleek city pleasures, laid-back beach life and unspoilt countryside. It's historic and cutting edge, wild and sophisticated, exotic and traditional, all at the same time.
There are wide open spaces from the beaches and cliff tops of the coast to the chalk hills and meadows of the South Downs; narrow cobbled twittens and elegant Regency squares; medieval cottages and fairytale castles; glorious gardens and picturesque old villages. Add to this some thoroughly modern shopping, the best contemporary art and design, stylish bars and restaurants and fun nightlife, and you'll see what makes East Sussex so special. Where else could you relive a Norman battle, visit an Indian-style royal palace, go llama trekking, find a 69m long chalk man on a hillside and dine on a 1920's Golden Arrow steam train, all in one day?
