Downs View Campsite

Once you’ve taken a stroll around the site’s grounds, set your sights on some of the area’s other great walking areas. There are plenty of places for walks long and short in the surrounding South Downs National Park – one of the most popular being Ashdown Forest (10 minutes’ drive), where you can see the landscapes that inspired the Winnie the Pooh books, and even play a game at Pooh Sticks Bridge. For other South Downs views, head to the National Trust’s Sheffield Park to explore the gorgeous gardens and play trail, or rest your legs with a ride on the Bluebell Railway (both five minutes away by car). Other days out? Try the crazy golf, play barn and ice cream parlour at Heaven Farm (five minutes), take your fishing kit to Latchetts Lakes (five minutes) or book a top-notch cultural fix with an opera or concert at Glyndebourne (25 minutes).
