The Old Flower Field

It’s clear already that the South Downs National Park has plenty of walks for you to choose from, so where might you want to add to your wishlist? A stroll past the Jack And Jill Windmills (10 minutes’ drive), a traditional corn mill that runs open days? Ancient sites and archaeology are some of the highlights of walks at the National Trust’s Devil's Dyke (10 minutes). There are ways to mix up your itinerary here, of course. Brighton is just 20 minutes’ drive away or a 40-minute walk and five-minute train if you’d rather not find parking in the city. Once there, you could have a go on the dodgems at Brighton Palace Pier, catch a RIB ride or wander around the SEA LIFE Brighton (half an hour) aquarium or the fishing museum. You might already be here to witness an event at The All England Jumping Course (five minutes) – if that hasn't crossed your mind yet, fixtures include showjumping, polo and even miniature horses.
