Kingley Vale walk
Landscape  
This ancient forest is thought to have the oldest living trees in Britain. It also has some of the best-preserved archaeological sites in southern England, along with unique wildlife, including 11 types of orchids.
You’ve heard of Artists’ Open Houses during the Brighton Festival, for example? Well, this more like an Artists’ Open County, with more than 800 Sussex artists showing their work in studios and galleries – as well as some rather more unusual locations – around the Lewes, Seaford and Newhaven areas. Pick up a map, join the trail and you’ll be able to meet the artists and buy their work direct from them.
