Alfriston and Cuckmere
Just an hour from Brighton, the Cuckmere Valley and its largest village, Alfriston, offers visitors the best of the British countryside.
The valley forms part of the South Downs Way, and many walkers take advantage of the position to enjoy the marvellous views this path offers. Other walks offer less strenuous opportunities for enjoying the natural scenery.
Alfriston
The historically-minded will be fascinated by Alfriston, a beautiful Medieval village boasting a fantastic church, St Andrews, "The Cathedral of the Downs", as well as the first building acquired by the National Trust, the Clergy House.
Throughout the region, B&Bs, hotels, tea gardens, pubs and restaurants welcome guests with delicious fare. Unique and delightful shops help make the day memorable for all visitors.
(Alfriston is just moments from the A27, from the roundabout by Drusillas Zoo. The valley may be reached by trains stopping at Berwick and at Polegate, as well as by regular bus services from Seaford, Eastbourne and Lewes during the week; a local community bus runs on weekends.
