On arrival in Brighton there will be a short comfort break before joining the minibus and meeting your driver/guide. After introducing the day your guide will take you on a scenic tour through Brighton, seeing the Royal Pavilion as we make our way to Rottingdean.

Our first stop of the day will be the old sheep farming village of Rottingdean. Todasy the village is on the edge of Brighton but still retains its distinctive charm, It was that charm that attracted Rudyard Kipling (Jungle Book) who made the village his home at the height of his fame, you can see his house on the edge of the village green. Your guide will walk you through the village giving you an insight in to its past and present. Before we leave come and see the 'Pirates Grave' in the churchyard of the 13th century St Margarets Church. We will then make our way in to the South Downs National Park to the village of Alfriston.

Our second stop is deep in the heart of the South Downs National Park, Alfriston. The village of Alfriston has reguarly featured in pretiest English village lists and feels like a step back in time. Your guide will walk you to the village green before you have time to explore for yourself. This will be our lunch stop. You can grab a bite to eat in one of the many 14th century pubs or try one of the cafes, or why not bring a packed lunch and sit by the Cuckmere River enjoying nature and the village. After lunch we will drive to the south of the village to enjoy the views from the 'High & Over'.

On leaving Alfriston we will make our way over the hills of the South Downs and make a stop for one of the best views in the national park at the High & Over. Ashort walk from the carpark will give you a view looking all the way along the Cuckmere Valley. Breathtaking. From here its a short drive to the coast for the views of the Seven Sisters.

The white cliffs of the Seven Sisters has to be one of the most iconic views on the whole of the British Isles. We will take a walk around Seaford Head taking in the views of the cliffs from various angles. We will walk down to the sea to take in the majesty of the cliffs, giving you time to sit and contemplate. Your guide will be on hand to help with photographs and answer any questions you may have. After our walk around Seaford Head we will make our way to the small village of Litlington.

Our last stop, before we head back to Brighton is the small village of Litlington. This perfect example of a Sussex village is way of the tourist trail and at times it feels like youve been transported back hundreds of years. The main street is lined with flint cottages and parts of the church date back to the 12th century. Litlington is also home to the Longman Brewery, makers of some of the finest beer and ales in England, why not pop in to the shop and bring home a souvenir. We will now retun back to Brighton where you can get the train to London or spend some time exploring Brighton and take a later train.

On arriving back in Brighton we will stop at the train station to catch the train back to London Bridge. Or why not spend some more time in Brighton and catch a later train back to London.
