Often referred to as ‘the lungs’ of south-east England, South Downs offers the perfect day out if you’re seeking a coastal sprawl. Situated between London and the south coast, there is no shortage of rolling hills and country landscapes to enjoy and if you’re after a challenging walk, the South Downs Way lasts for a whole 100 miles. The paths are also split into shorter routes and are suitable for cyclists, so there’s plenty of choice. We especially love the route that takes you towards the stretch of coastline known as the Seven Sisters.

For a picturesque getaway with walking, cycling and horse riding routes along coastal paths, valleys and forests, this is the place for you. During your visit you can stumble upon some of the areas most-loved villages, historical landmarks and market towns. Some of our favourite spots are Roseberry Topping and Kilburn Woods.

The Cotswold Way is a long distance trail running between the market town of Chipping Campden in the north and the city of Bath. You can take on this whole walk in around 10 days or split it into shorter, more manageable routes – we particularly enjoy the Winchcombe to Belas Knap route.
