Sussex is a good choice for a romantic break. Despite their proximity to London large parts of both West and East Sussex remain off the beaten track. This despite the beautiful countryside, fine market towns, pretty villages and wonderful coastline.

Making the most of your romantic break

The coastal county of West Sussex will inspire you as it did William Blake, John Constable and HG Wells. Whether you taking a boat trip around Chichester Harbour at sunset, wandering through romantic fragrant gardens such as Leonardslee, Borde Hill and Wakehurst or exploring fine country estates houses such as Petworth House, you can't help but relax and unwind.

Sussex specializes in relaxed, charming towns dominated by castles. Explore historic Arundel, seemingly slumbering at the foot of the magnificent elevated Norman castle. Or while away an afternoon in the wonderful antique and bookshops of medieval Lewes, also dominated by a castle.

Above all step out on the South Downs Way and rejuvenate yourselves in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that rolls down to the sparkling sea beyond.

Surprise your lover with a romantic dinner on the Golden Arrow as it sedately chuffs along the Bluebell Steam railway.

Coastal delights aside, East Sussex can compete in all respects. Romantic Bodiam and Herstmonceux castles, historic houses including Firle Place, Glynde Place, and Alfriston Clergy House compete for your time with inspiring romantic gardens such as those at Sheffield Park, Great Dixter and Pashley Manor.

With luck you'll chance upon one of the many festivals and country fairs where traditions are kept alive.

Sussex has it all and if you can tear yourselves away from your romantic hotel, you find much to make for an unforgettably romantic break.
