Enjoy a walk
There is no better way on spending the Easter holidays than exploring the countryside. We have various shorter and family friendly walks you can enjoy including Chesworth Farm in Horsham and Wiggonholt Heath in Pulborough.
There are also plenty of woodland walks ideal for dogs such as Brede High Woods, Petworth Park, Ashdown Forest and Ebernoe Common.
We also enjoy walking along the South Downs Way, you can do a circular walk to Chanctonbury Ring or the ridge along from the Jack and Jill Windmills to Ditchling Beacon is also lovely.
The Knepp Estate is also lovely to walk around and see what wildlife you can see, there are plenty of footpaths and they also provide a handy map.
