Brighton countryside

Did you know there are over 14,000 acres of countryside in Brighton and the surrounding areas?

The perfect complement to a buzzing city, these areas allow you to escape to a scenic, tranquil world of down lands, footpaths, bridleways and byways.

Take a walk in the Brighton countryside, Breeze up to Devil's Dyke, cycle into Kipling's Rottingdean, home of some of the most stunning gardens in Brighton, or join a woodland trail. The opportunities are endless.

You'll also find an abundance of plants, animals and wildlife both within the city limits and amidst the countryside around Brighton and Hove, all just moments from the city.
