Sussex and the Sea

Welcome to our guide

From coastal champions like Brighton and Eastbourne to traditional downland villages like Ferring and Climping, plus local beauty spots like Fontwell Park and Crowborough, the 11 hostelries that make up this fine Collection both deserve and reward exploration.

The road may be long, winding and undulating in Sussex but the perfect watering hole is around the next corner along with incredible views and great company. Take your pick from cultural Worthing, tranquil Peacehaven, historic Battle and photogenic Haywards Heath.

Combine coast and countryside for a day out with a difference. You're never far from the sea and the varied coastline here - dramatic white cliffs drop to secluded rocky bays, shingle beaches and swathes of golden sand. Just a short drive from the lively cities and towns you'll find unspoilt landscapes aplenty and hundreds of great walking, cycling and horse-riding routes.
