The diverse and beautiful county of Sussex has much to offer the visitor. Wonderful walks and views can be enjoyed on the South Downs and along the coast, and through Ashdown Forest (where Winnie the Pooh used to play!), while the Weald offers a landscape of gentle countryside dotted with villages and traditional inns. A free brochure 'Walk South East England', detailing a variety of countryside and coastal walks, is available from local Tourist Information Centres. Aside from walking, this fascinating region offers a host of castles, gardens, historic towns and stately homes. Highlights include Bodiam Castle, a classic picture-book castle, the bustling seaside city of Brighton, glorious gardens at Sheffield Park renowned for its autumn colours and the Bluebell Railway, one of the best steam railways in Britain. Other interesting places to visit include the charming town of Rye, Petworth House filled with impressive paintings, Chichester Harbour and the traditional seaside resort of Eastbourne. Children will particularly enjoy a visit to Drusillas Park in Alfriston, a small zoo with lots of animals ranging from meercats to monkeys and a variety of excellent play areas catering for children of all ages.
