Lush green landscapes, rolling hills and incredible views.

The paths are ideal for long walks, hiking and cycling. Located in the quintessentially English area of East Sussex, the amazing Seven Sisters National Park boasts impressive white cliffs where hikers and ramblers enjoy long walks. Along the park there are several pubs where you can get a refreshing pint after a scenic workout!

South West England for food lovers

Are you a foodie? If you are, you will be in for a treat! The southwest of England is an incredible paradise of local food and drink produce, scrumptious seafood and other delicacies. The region’s fertile ground is ideal to grow some of the UK’s best-known produce. How does salt-marsh lamb grazed at Bridgwater Bay sound? Maybe a bit of Gloucester Old Spot pork drizzled with rapeseed oil from Bath and washed down with a cold and refreshing golden Somerset cider. Somerset also has one of the bestsellers - Cheddar cheese from the village of Cheddar. Try a recipe with the versatile crabs, enjoy a Cornish pasty, a stargazy pie, a classic Devon cream tea, and for the adventurous ones, give wallfish a go. Mouth-watering days await for you to join!

Did you know there is a wheel cheese chasing tradition down a giant hill where you bounce down head-over-heels like a human bowling ball? It’s true! This happens in Cooper’s Hill, Gloucestershire.
