Just had the most amazing experience doing the hawk walk with my mum for Mother’s Day! Mum said it was the most breath taking experience she’s ever had! Being up close and personal with the birds is incredible! Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a gift that’s out of the box! Looking forward to the next one! ????

WWT Arundel Wetland Centre

Set in the splendor of the South Downs; adjacent to the River Arun; overlooked by the historic Arundel Castle skyline this gorgeous wetland reserve is a great place for a great day out in West Sussex for the whole family. Arundel Wetland Centre is home to a collection of over 50 species of wildfowl from around the world in natural settings, on display 364 days a year so there is always something to see. This gorgeous nature reserve has boat rides and an amazing reedbed boardwalk. The 8 wildlife hides bring you close to Sussex wildlife plus there is a family oriented Discovery Hide which hosts events in wet weather. Added to this are two adventure playgrounds, the Water’s Edge Cafe serving takeaway drinks, snack & ice creams and a gift shop with unique take-home treats. Arundel Wetland Centre is fully accessible with buggy and wheelchair friendly pathways, comfortable hides and disabled and parent & baby facilities.

West Beach Local Nature Reserve

Reviewed By VivienneEsther

If you want a lovely walk on a quiet beach then this is it. Away from the busy beach on the other side of the river Arun, this beach is great for walking with your dog and no restrictions through the summer. The road to the beach is single track so care must be taken and you pay to park. There are not many parking spaces. Take a flask as there are no amenities once the season has ended Definitely a place to gather your thoughts or to walk with friends and family.

This is one of my favourite places to walk, miles and miles of footpaths and views over the English Channel and West Sussex, maintained by the National Trust
