The stone walls of Kempfield House hold the kind of warmth that only a proper guest house can offer — a threshold between outdoors and that first cup of tea indoors.

This is a spot for anyone who wants a comfortable base rather than a bare-bones pitch, though camping pods are available if you prefer a bit more canvas in your life. Whether you're walking the fells with the dog (best ask ahead about their policy), cycling between villages, or simply using it as a launchpad for exploring the wider region, it strikes that balance between independence and a proper bed. Year-round opening means you can book it in February just as easily as July.

Expect guest house hospitality — breakfast sorted, a roof overhead, and the option of a pod if you want to sleep closer to the stars. Campfires are a check-on-arrival matter, so don't assume either way. The vibe leans peaceful and low-key, the sort of place where you plan your day over morning coffee then disappear until dusk.

Newhaven-Brighton Clifftop Path

Follows the dramatic chalk cliffs between Newhaven and Brighton Marina, offering stunning sea views and breezy coastal terrain. Mostly flat to gently undulating on clifftop paths, though some sections near cliff edges aren't suitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff drops. Worth it for the white cliffs, wildflowers in summer, and that proper seaside ramble feeling with fresh sea air throughout.

Ditchling Beacon to Devil's Dyke, South Downs walk, Sussex East

Follows the undulating South Downs ridge with steep climbs and descents throughout – definitely not buggy-friendly and challenging for young children. Dogs welcome on leads near grazing livestock. Rewards effort with sweeping views across the Weald and coast, passing ancient hillforts and chalk grassland teeming with wildflowers in summer. A classic Downs traverse connecting two of Sussex's most iconic viewpoints, best tackled by confident walkers.
