Sussex Downs Weekend

We stayed at the foot of the South Downs, at HF Holidays country house, Abingworth Hall, with a full board package.

We were celebrating The Long Passage, which  is the only Saville book set in the rolling Sussex Downs - a part of England which holds many tales from smuggling, sea bathing and, of course, adventures! In this Buckinghams book, Juliet and Simon are off on a camping holiday near the South Downs where they meet both old friends and old enemies.

 

The weekend included a mix of walking and sightseeing, drawn from the following:

• discovering the heritage of Sussex at the Weald & Downland Living Museum;
• visiting the Elizabethan-style Parham House and Gardens;
• or a mix of both;
• 1 medium grade walk between 9 to 12 km (Saturday);
• 1 easy walk between 5 to 6 km (Sunday).
