We have miles of unspoilt seafront directly opposite us, and walks up onto the infamous Beachy Head with far reaching views of the bay over to Hastings and beyond!

You can find more information on great walks in the area on the East Sussex website. 

For keen cyclists we have the South Downs with its beautiful scenery and wonderful off road cycling for those keen mountain bikers. You can find out more information about Mountain Biking in the area if you click the link.
