Holiday with dog and DCs near Lewes

[MissBetsyTrotwood]

As it says really! We've a few days in a cottage near Lewes next week and wondered if anyone knew the area - advice on walks/beaches/pubs/cafs/places in general that welcome DCs (young, 3 and 5) and large dog most welcome!

TIA!

Lewes is lovely. You can walk by the river to the Pells area where you can feed the ducks and there is a nice park. From there you can go up to see the castle, which is worth a look round.

Abbot's Wood is a lovely place to go with young DC and your dog. Nice walks, wooded adventure playground area, a pub half-way round - The Royal Oak I think.

You can also travel to Seven Sisters easily which again is a lovely walk down to the beach.

Seaford is another small town close by, but it has a lovely long beach and there is quite a good park on the seafront just across the road.

If you want a day out your DC will absolutely love

Drusillas It's a small zoo with a fab playground - really lovely (we are members).

Hope this is helpful. I might be able to think of more if you need more ideas or help

There is a nice indoor swimming pool at Lewes

here It also has a small soft play area attached called Ocean Adventure.

There is another large soft play area

Monkey Bizness as you head South out of Lewes]] if you require it.

Newhaven Fort is another good day out, if you're interested in that sort of thing, but your DC's might be a teeny bit young for it.

Thank you so much for all this - Abbott's Wood looks amazing. I grew up in E Sussex and tbh, our trip's a bit of a recce for us all - I've definitely got more than a little yen to move back! Never quite lost my Sussex accent either, so should fit right in...

Lovely local knowledge - and all your suggestions would suit us down to the ground and give us lots to be doing! Thanks again.

You're welcome, hope you have a nice time
