Larkey Valley Wood

Reviewed By TawseTerrier

Small woods.. beautiful wild flowers and everyone gets involved in the climbing because the trees that fell down (in 1987 storm) are still down.. very quiet and peaceful place.. we walked all around and did no more than 2 miles.. I think that they used to be huge but housing has forced a reduction in size.. worth a visit.. free car park.. dogs allowed.. nice couple of hours to spend..

Devil's Dyke National Trust

A legendary beauty spot on the South Downs Devil’s Dyke, just five miles north of Brighton, offers stunning panoramas, a record breaking valley, a curious history and England’s most colourful habitat. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. Legend has it that the Devil dug this chasm to drown the parishioners of the Weald. On the other hand, scientists believe it was formed naturally just over 10,000 years ago in the last ice age. With a little exploring the Dyke's story starts to reveal itself: The ramparts or walls of the Iron Age hill fort can be seen when you walk around the hill and the remains of the curious Victorian funfair can be found just a few minutes from the car park. Venture into the valley and you will discover a living carpet of flowers and a myriad of colourful insects.

Mild October weather had people out and about during the week to follow three different trails, each with different levels of challenges. Devil's Dyke was a fabulous way to see the Donkey's wheel, have tea at the National Trust cafe and enjoy fabulous views of the Weald. Wellies or hiking boots best and although we had good weather, the trails are narrow and slippery in places. Some stairs in places on the challenging trail. Could have some better signage in places where trails cross but a fabulous excursion from the Brighton beach area. Dog friendly.

Beautiful Gardens, part of Windsor Great Park & a loverly walk around the Virginia lake, the girls enjoyed all the Rhododendrons in all their colour. Our walk included a nice stop at the Bailiwick pub for lunch ( see separate review ) before heading back towards the car & stopping off at Saville Gardens for more none alcoholic refreshments. Great day out on a loverly sunny day
