1. South Downs Way National Trail

Reviewed By alan2303 - Shoreham-by-Sea, United Kingdom
Although I do plan to walk the entire length of the path I have walked along many sections at various times. Most recently I walked circular routes from Harting, Fulking, Pyecombe, Upper Beeding in West Sussex as well as from Wilmington, Alciston and Firle in East Sussex. All sections have provided climbs up to spectacular views both South towards the sea and North across the Weald. Whichever section you choose you will experience some taxing climbs from sea level in the river valleys and some great viewpoints. It can be a cheap day out if you find a sensible place to leave your car and avoid some of the busy official car parks. Public transport to various jump off points is possible but a little limited in some sections.

Glide down the stunning Chichester canal while gaining excellent tuition, let your mind relax and unwind in a beautiful location. Book a two hour guided tour on the canal using the latest inflatable paddle boards, just bring a towel and leave with a smile.
5. Knepp Wildland Safaris
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 421 reviews
Knepp - one of the largest re-wilding projects in lowland Europe. Encounter herds of wild ponies, cattle, deer and pigs as they roam 3,500 acres of Sussex, driving the forces of habitat regeneration. Join us on one of our vehicle-based safaris or guided walking tours and experience our profusion of birds, mammals, butterflies, beetles, reptiles, plants and fungi in a setting that feels as wild and dynamic as the African bush. Stay in one of our beautiful shepherd's huts or luxurious tents, or simply pitch your own in our exclusive Wildland campsite. You don't have to take one of our safaris to stay here, and you don't have to stay here to take a safari - though naturally we hope you'll be tempted to combine the two.
6. Dunreyth Alpacas
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 83 reviews
Dunreyth Alpacas offer Alpaca Walking Experiences, which have been enjoyed by people from as far afield as South Africa, China, Hong Kong, Holland, India and The Arab Emirates. Alpaca walks are available from Wednesday to Sunday every week of the year (except Christmas Day). WALKS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE . Unlike some other venues we offer clients to walk an an Alpaca each. No sharing unless requested . Walks are at 10.30am. Children must be over six years old, . As alpacas are herd animals and don't like to be alone, at least two alpacas must be booked per walk, which takes approximately 50 minutes, dependent on the alpacas' pace, which isn't all that fast. We have an onsite shop selling hand knitted Alpaca wear made from our own Alpaca for that unique gift and also Alpaca souvenirs of your Alpaca adventure ..

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with these lovely creatures! They are very soft, extremely friendly and are eager to be lead. They generally kept in formation, with a bit of friendly overtaking. They did stop every so often to munch on the vegetation and sometimes to dive into the prickly bushes! It's very interesting to see their individual personalities reveal themselves as the walk goes on. We were lead up a track as a line of alpacas and handlers towards the woodland and then stopped to give them treats at an opening at the top of the hill. We visited on a Wednesday morning for our prebooked walk. We went out with 2 other couples, so it was a 7 alpaca walk as the group leader took one also. At the end of the walk you have the opportunity to have a browse in the gift shop where they sell home made alpaca gifts, as well as items that they bring back from Peru. Obviously sensible, supportive footwear is essential as you are walking across muddy land that is not level and covered in twigs and tree roots, with the occasional muddy puddle. I would also recommend gloves for the wintertime as you are handling their lead the whole time and it is a little chilly on the trail. All in all, a lovely novel way to spend a morning in Chichester! Highly recommended for animal lovers.

Boultbee Flight Academy is the world's first Spitfire training school and approved Spitfire and Mustang Flight Provider. Spitfires and Mustangs must continue to grace the skies of the UK. Whilst stunning on the ground they cannot be truly understood until they are experienced flying. Our aim at Boultbee Flight Academy is keep these aircraft in the air and to open the doors of the Spitfire world to the public. We offer Spitfire experience flights and Mustang experience flights to non-pilots and Spitfire training to pilots. A flight in a Spitfire or a Mustang is an incredible experience whether you are a pilot or not and we believe it should be available to everyone with an interest. A Spitfire, or indeed a Mustang flight, really is everything you will hope it to be and more. Please carry on reading for details of the products and experiences we have on offer.
