Secret Sussex was born out of a curiosity and awe of all that Sussex has to offer. From the majestic, rolling South Downs, dotted with interesting old villages and pubs.
To the ancient woodlands offering much to explore and paths to wander. To the illuminated white cliffs of East Sussex and welcome coast line, dotted with unique towns and places.
I am Gillian and I have lived in Sussex for 5 years. I found myself stuck in a “Worthing bubble”, having moved here from London directly before the global pandemic. I enjoyed many woodland walks and wild swims during this time.
However, post pandemic and with two small children saw me itching to get out and explore what more Sussex has to offer. The children often come along with me.
Coming from Ireland, my curiosity of how the land intertwines with culture and language is always something that deeply fascinates me. I was delighted to discover and learn more of the various folklore and rich history that lies within Sussex.
Sussex is a unique place, with it’s own distinct culture and identity. Easily accessible from the capital, London – it offers an attractive place not only to live but to visit and holiday.
Bursting with creatives and creativity is not surprising given the inspiring landscape and open minded places such as Brighton.
Sussex is renowned for its beautiful gardens, stunning vineyards and wineries, alongside multiple independent breweries. It has a strong tradition of bonfire celebrations and musical heritage.
Secret Sussex offers you a guide to what’s on, where to go and hidden treasures in the beautiful communities across both East and West Sussex. Secret Sussex eagerly portrays Sussex’s beauty and wonder through experience.
Thank you for being here.
