Situated between the Downs and the Sea, Sussex by the Sea is surrounded by fantastic countryside with a wide choice of footpaths for all types of walking.

In Arundel itself there is the Audio Tour of the historic town; a variety of walks through Arundel Park and the South Downs and walks along the River Arun including The Port of Arundel Heritage Walk. Along the Arun valley lies the beautiful village of Amberley. In the opposite direction lies the estuary and the seaside resort of Littlehampton. Here you can enjoy a stroll along a riverside walkway which links with the seaside promenade. Also make sure you make that extra effort whilst in Littlehampton to cross the footbridge and follow the footpath along the road & the river to West Beach where you will find our beautiful Sand Dunes. In Bognor Regis, as well, there is a great seaside promenade walk taking you west to Aldwick or east to Felpham.

There are excellent walks for all levels of fitness, from the Arun Valley & Seaside promenades to Heritage and South Downs Trails. For the really ambitious we even have The South Downs Way which is 99 miles (visit www.nationaltrail.co.uk/factfile.asp?trailCode=sd ) or The Monarch’s Way which is 610 miles (visit www.monarchsway.50megs.com) running through our patch!
