One of the great things about taking a holiday to Sussex on the southern coast of England is the variety of landscapes that are present for you to enjoy.
The contrast between inland areas and the coast on its own is fantastic, but even these areas have further differences within them.
We'll start with the coast.
Something you'll learn about Sussex is that it's popular with walkers, and this is definitely true in the coastal areas as well.
The cliffs along the sea provide some spectacular sea views and are exhilarating walking routes, though you have to make sure you plan your route and what gear you'll take properly.
Of course, walking isn't for everybody, so we have to mention the Sussex beaches that you'll find along the coast.
There are also the seaside towns and, somewhere that's definitely worth at least a visit, Brighton.
You'll find all the usual seaside events going on along the Brighton coast, including donkey rides, sticks of rock being sold and even swimming if it's warm enough.
The coast is fairly bare, tree wise, which is why the views are so good, but when you get inland you'll find there are plenty of forests scattered around.
This is one of the joys of Sussex.
The woodlands are one of the most popular features and provide many great walking, cycling and horse riding routes.
They're also a pleasure just to drive through, making getting anywhere in Sussex an almost magical experience.
You'll also find plenty of small, picturesque villages and towns inland, nestled in valleys or surrounded by woodland themselves.
Many of them date from the Middle Ages or even earlier, and some still have buildings that have their origins in those periods.
Rye is a great example of this as even the streets follow their Medieval layout.
You'll also find a lot of great places to eat and drink in these towns and villages and there are plenty of hidden gems out there.
The walks inland take on a whole different dimension as they allow you to travel from village to village, taking in the beautiful countryside that is in between them.
You'll find plenty of themed trails that will have you following in the footsteps of armies, royalty and other historically important people.
There's even the opportunity to follow the paths Winnie the Pooh and his friends took through the wood that inspired Hundred Acre Wood, visiting many of their favourite spots.
