Top picnic spots

With the weather getting warm it won't be long before we are looking for the best spot to have a picnic and let the children run wild, while enjoying the wildlife and countryside.

Here are a few of our favourite picnic spots in sussex:

  • Devils Dyke - Brighton
Devil’s Dyke has been a popular picnic spot since Victorian times. There are amazing views of the Southdowns and the English Channel. It is a great place for walks, kite flying and playing games with the children like frisbee.
There is also a pub and ice cream van, which is essential on a hot day, and there is plenty of parking.
  • Stanmer Park - Brighton
Stanmer Park has woodland and large park areas that are great for picnics. It is a great place to visit where the children can play ball, or climb. There's an old church and a tiny village on the estate with houses and barns that date back to the 1850s.
  • Petworth - West Sussex
 Enjoy a summer’s picnic in the parkland that inspired Turner. Take a walk to the serpentine lake and breathe in the endless open space. You can also see the largest herd of fallow deer in England.
  • The Wildlife and Wetlands Trust - Arundel
 Why not take a walk through a wetland wilderness and picnic overlooking the water. There are kingfishers, warblers, ducks, swans,and much more, as well as butterflies making it an ideal place for bird lovers and pond dippers.
