SOUTH DOWNS, UK Nature lovers are in for a treat at the UK’s newest YHA. This former 13th Century farm near Beddingham, Lewes, has been given a £3 million makeover and new lease of life as the 68bed South Downs YHA. Superbly located on the South Downs Way National Trail, you’ll find the rolling hills, dramatic chalk cliffs and bays of the South Downs all on your doorstep. Don’t miss the famous Seven Sisters and Seaford Head. Now fully kitted out with 16 modern bedrooms plus a selfcontained three-bed unit, the hostel also boasts, amongst the usual facilities, a brand new courtyard cafe, licensed bar, and South Downs visitor centre. If you’re not into walking, cycling or horse riding a section of the 100-mile Trail, you can always pop next door to catch a train from Southease Station and explore the cobbled streets and Norman castle of Lewes, the harbour and echoing tunnels built into the chalk cliffs of Newhaven, or even head to nearby Brighton.
