LOCALLY
Glamp in Style is based in East Sussex with beautiful views as far as the South Downs.
Locally, there is a wonderful cafe and independent family run grocery store that can be reached by a gentle walk (15mins) across the field.
​
Battle
If you're fit to walk, historic Battle is accessible by foot (45 mins). It's a beautiful walk along public footpaths through woodland and fields, but you will probably need the help of an OS map. Once in Battle you can join the 1066 footpath that will take you far beyond Battle towards the coast and Pevensey or historic harbour town, Rye.

Hastings and St.Leonards
A little further afield, you will find the seaside town of Hastings & St.Leonards (30mins by transport).
St.Leonards is fast becoming a hub of little independent cafes and bars along a quiet stretch of beach - towards Hastings (which is a nice walk along the promenade), you will find the typical British seaside delights such as mini golf, arcades and fairground rides.
Beyond the attractions, you will admire the Victorian architecture typical of the historic seaside location - however, the architecture of this particular seaside town certainly boasts as some of the most wonderful in the southeast. The hilly townscape provides an eye pleasing array of detail that sits under the ruins of Hastings Castle.
As you walk towards the end of the promenade, you will find the old town marked with it's pedestrianised street of independent and quirky retailers, bars and restaurants - go in the evening for another level in culinary and atmospheric experience.
