Read More →South Downs Sojourns: Chalk Hills, Coastal Cliffs, and Ancient Woodlands for Your Canine!
Explore the stunning landscapes of the South Downs National Park with your adventurous dog, a region of iconic rolling chalk downland, dramatic white cliffs, ancient woodlands, and meandering river valleys. From the breathtaking views along the South Downs Way National Trail to the exhilarating coastal paths and tranquil forest tracks, the South Downs offer a diverse and beautiful backdrop for your walks.
Discover the iconic Seven Sisters Country Park, where the chalk cliffs meet the sea and the Cuckmere River winds through picturesque meanders. Challenge yourselves with climbs to panoramic viewpoints like Ditchling Beacon or Devil's Dyke, offering far-reaching vistas across the Weald and towards the coast. The 100-mile South Downs Way provides endless opportunities for sections of varied length and difficulty, taking in historic sites and beautiful scenery.
Venture into expansive country parks such as Queen Elizabeth Country Park, with its vast woodlands and downland trails, or explore the ancient yew trees of Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve (dogs on leads). The Park is dotted with charming villages and welcoming pubs, perfect for a rest stop. Remember to always follow the "Take the Lead"guidance: keep your dog on a lead near livestock (sheep are very common), during the ground-nesting bird season (March to September), and close to cliff edges to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit for everyone and to protect the precious wildlife.
