 The Cricketers Arms by Mariajoy There is nothing lovelier on a summer's day than to sip a nice cold shandy in a pub garden with friend in a ancient Sussex country pub. The Cricketers Arms is one such pub just off the A27 in Berwick, just before Polegate, it is set in an idyllic location at the foot of the South Downs away from the hustle and bustle. With low ceilings, cask ales, a cottage garden and great menu and wine list , this place is very popular and you may need to book at weekends. Leave a Comment Phone: 01323 870 469

by Mariajoy Enjoy a nice cold drink in a lovely Sussex country pub on a hot July day... there's nothing nicer! This is in the cottage garden of the 18th Century Harvey's Pub - The Cricketer's Arms, set at the foot of the South Downs in Berwick. Half a pint of shandy will cost you 1.50 GBP. There's a great food and wine list here as well as cask ales - it gets very busy in the summer as it is sooo popular so it might be an idea to book before you turn up!

One the most abundant little plants growing at this time of year (Apr-May) on this stretch of the chalky Downs is the pretty little (20-30cm) purple Thrift. It grows in clumps and seems to be distasteful to the multitude of rabbits that live in the honeycombe of warrens under your feet ( Is it any wonder the cliffs are falling into the sea really??).

This walk is a section of the South Downs Way which takes in the magnificent views of the Seven Sisters (seven chalk cliffs). Looking west you can see the neighbouring port of Newhaven. The footpath runs adjacent to a busy golf course, so when you are spending hours over a photo of a sea view, there might just be a golfer waiting to take his next shot right next to you! This isn't a difficult section of the South Downs Way, and it will take you down to Cuckmere Haven. From there, you can get refreshments at The Golden Galleon Pub or the Tea Rooms at Exceat.

 Yellow Horned poppies by Mariajoy The Yellow Horned Poppy grows in the shingle all along the Sussex coast line and flowers during early August. Please don't pick them as it is an offence to gather or collect any wildflowers growing in their natural habitat. Leave a Comment

by Mariajoy The Sussex Downs, is a beautiful area for hiking and there are dozens of routes, footpaths etc for the novice and the more experienced walkers and those just wanting to enjoy a day out in the country side. Leave a Comment

Yes, you are not mistaken... this is a tip about East Sussex...not Peru. Hidden deep in the the depths of the Sussex countryside near Alfriston are these little alpacas bred for their beautiful wool. I was so surprised to see them on the drive along the A22 from Lewes to Eastbourne but it seems them are becoming a more commonplace sight in the southern counties these days. Leave a Comment

Not sure of the name of these "succulent" type plants found at Galley Hill cliffs in Bexhill during an early spring walk. If anyone knows what they are, please let me know :) Leave a Comment

The "Long Man" is a giant carving on the north side of Windover Hill near Wilmington. He is 226 foot high. The origin of this giant remains a mystery. Another hill figure in East Sussex is the White Horse at Litlington (see intro pic). The Long Man is signposted from the A27 and lies south of Wilmington (connecting street between A27 and A259). Also the White Horse can be found in the same street. Leave a Comment
