There are plenty of tiny Saxon flint stone churches and timbered country pubs dotted throughout the picturesque villages nestling at the foot of the Downs. Some of the UK's finest castles, beautiful gardens, National Trust properties, family attractions and of course, the wonderful Ashdown Forest - ideal for walking, horse riding and cycling - can be found in the region. There are plenty of places to visit and activities whether you are a couple, family or group.
