which provide plenty of opportunities for coastal walks and picnics in warmer weather.
6. Spend a foodie weekend in Brighton
Brighton has it all; whether you want fish and chips on the beach, tasty vegetarian fare at Terre à Terre (terreaterre.co.uk) or eclectic small plates and social dining at 64 Degrees (64degrees. co.uk), there's no shortage of delights for the intrepid foodie. But it's not all about dinner; from chocolate walking tours (chocolateecstasytours.com) to ethical supermarkets (hisbe.co.uk) and expertly cooked fish tasting menus (saltroom-restaurant. co.uk), you're guaranteed to find something for everyone. To sleep, we can't recommend the Artist Residence, a charming boutique hotel on the sea front, enough (artistresidencebrighon.co.uk).
7. Pass some time in Sussex's country pubs
Given the amount of fantastic pubs Sussex has to offer, it'd be foolish not to sink a pint or two during your stay. One of our favourites, The Crown in Hastings (thecrownhastings. co.uk), is just the place to while away an afternoon, or longer! Just a moment's walk from the beach, The Crown serves a fine selection of local ales, craft beers and locally sourced food (don't miss their Sussex cheeseboard), all served within a friendly and warm environment. Over in Ticehurst, former 16th Century coaching inn The Bell Inn (thebellinnticehurst.com) is the perfect bolthole for a pitstop after a busy day exploring the nearby High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
