Tours of Sussex

Let us show you Sussex – a beautiful and historic county on the south coast of England. Famous for its rolling countryside, stunning chalk hills of the South Downs National Park, picturesque villages, and fascinating historic sites, Sussex offers something for every type of traveller. It is also home to 1066 Country, where the famous Battle of Hastings changed the course of English history.

We can create the perfect Sussex tour for you, whether you are interested in history, beautiful landscapes, traditional English towns, gardens, or local food and drink. History lovers can explore Roman remains, Norman churches and cathedrals, medieval castles, and grand Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian seaside towns. If you love heritage transport, you can also discover some of Sussex’s historic steam railways, including the famous Bluebell Railway.

Some of the best-known Sussex seaside towns you might choose to visit on your tour include Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Worthing, and Bognor Regis. Each has its own character, with beaches, museums, galleries, theatres, traditional promenades, and plenty of places to enjoy a relaxing lunch or afternoon tea. You can also explore the charming harbours of Chichester and Rye or enjoy the beautiful sandy coastline of Camber Sands.

Bodiam Castle

Step into a real medieval fairytale at Bodiam Castle, a spectacular 14th-century castle surrounded by a peaceful moat. Built during the Hundred Years’ War, the castle has witnessed some of the most important periods in English history, including the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War. Today, it is cared for by the National Trust and is one of the most impressive castles to visit in Sussex.

Beachy Head

No Sussex tour would be complete without seeing the dramatic white cliffs of Beachy Head. Located just west of Eastbourne, this famous coastal landmark offers spectacular views across the English Channel and is home to its iconic lighthouse. Nearby Cuckmere Haven and Birling Gap are also wonderful places to enjoy the beautiful Sussex coastline and take memorable photographs.

Bird of Prey experience

Looking for something a little different? Add a unique bird of prey experience to your Sussex day tour. You can get closer to nature and even try your hand at falconry, making this a memorable experience for families, couples, and anyone who enjoys wildlife.

Gardens and Local Produce

Sussex is full of beautiful gardens and country estates waiting to be explored. Depending on your interests, you could visit Wakehurst Place, home to the National Seed Bank, or discover the historic gardens at Great Dixter, Batemans, Sheffield Park, Nymans, Merriments, and many more.

Sussex is also well known for its excellent local food and drink. Sample local cider at Middle Farm near Lewes or visit one of the county’s award-winning vineyards for a taste of Sussex wine. With traditional pubs, charming tea rooms, farm shops, and country restaurants throughout the county, there are plenty of opportunities to stop, relax, and enjoy some delicious local produce.

These are just some of the places and experiences you could include on a private Sussex day tour. With so much to see and do, it is not possible to visit everything in one day, but we can help you create an itinerary that suits your interests and makes the most of your time.
