FAMILY DAYS OUT 065 Howletts Zoo ©Kent Tourism Alliance
Smuggler’s Adventure & Hastings Castle
And while in Sussex...
With so many places for days out whether it be in the country, at the coast or historic towns, it’s diffi cult to decide where to start when choosing something to do in Sussex. If you’re looking to keep the whole family entertained consider visiting some furry friends or aquatic allies. Set in 18 acres, Blackberry Farm at Whitesmith has plenty of animals to meet as well as tractor rides and play areas. Coombes Farm Experience is a working farm where you can also learn about farm life, while Knockhatch Adventure Park has all the benefi ts of a farm with the added fun of a water slide, playbarn and soft play area.
Discover an underwater world at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Hastings or take a trip to the Sealife Centre in Brighton. For even more exotic animals, visit Drusillas Park in Alfriston. From monkeys and meerkats to pandas and penguins, there are hundreds of animals to see, as
well as play areas, fun rides and the chance to enjoy the thrill of Go Safari! Learn how we travelled in times gone by with a trip on the Bluebell Railway or head to the coast where Newhaven’s Paradise Park has a Museum of Life with life-size moving dinosaurs and a collection of fossils, minerals and crystals. Camber Sands has a beautiful beach, and just a stone’s throw away is Rye with traditional cobbled lanes and many a fi sh and chips shop. Alternatively Eastbourne gives you the chance to enjoy some stunning views from Beachy Head, while Brighton has lots to keep everyone occupied. There are many beautiful gardens to
explore in Sussex including the National Trust’s Nymans, Sheffi eld Park and Garden, Wakehurst in Haywards Heath and Arundel Castle and Gardens. Sussex has proved a magnet for many an artist, so head to Bexhill to visit the art deco De La Warr Pavilion, pop to Eastbourne’s Towner Art Gallery, or stop off at Pallant House.
Step back in time and go in search of the dark secrets of smugglers while wandering through mysterious tunnels and caverns – and while you’re there pop over to the Norman castle. •
