King Charles III England Coast Path: East Head to Shoreham

National Trails

Follows the Sussex coastline with mostly flat, easy terrain along beaches, clifftops and harbour paths. Suitable for families and generally buggy-friendly on paved seafront sections, though some beach stretches may be challenging with wheels. Dogs welcome year-round but check seasonal beach restrictions (typically May-September). Offers stunning coastal views, seaside towns, South Downs backdrops and excellent birdwatching around Pagham and Chichester Harbours – a classic English coastal walk mi

South Downs Way

National Trails

Slindon medieval park pale and village walk, Slindon Estate

National Trust

Explores a fascinating medieval deer park boundary and picturesque National Trust village on mostly flat terrain with one moderate climb. Suitable for families with confident walkers (age 5+), though muddy sections after rain make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads through the estate and village. The ancient park pale earthworks are remarkably well-preserved, and Slindon's flint cottages and village green make this a quietly rewarding historical ramble through rural Sussex.

Bridle Road to Bignor Walk, Slindon

National Trust

Explore 10.4km of National Trust woodland and downland paths with moderate climbs through the South Downs. The route tackles some steep sections, particularly near Bignor Hill, making it better suited to older children and confident walkers rather than buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards include panoramic views across the Weald, ancient beech woods, and the chance to detour to Bignor Roman Villa – a lovely half-day adventure combining history with classic Sussex countryside.
