Alfriston is a historic village surrounded by wide open spaces, offering a great break from the hustle and bustle of London. Within just over an hour you will find yourself among the picturesque Wealdon South Downs, which offer a selection of good hiking trails.

Within the village you can visit the 14th-century Alfriston Clergy House and Garden and St. Andrews Church, which was built in 1360. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy a tasting and tour of the Rathfinney Wine Estate (hiking trails through the vineyards), while families can visit Drusilla's Park (an award-winning zoo) and Middle Farm, where the children can watch the Jersey herd being milked while the adults shop for meat, cheese, and fresh produce. Garden enthusiasts will love Follers Manor Garden, which has featured on several TV garden shows.
