Wonderful Wine Weekends

Overview

I have a great knowledge of Sussex and the local countryside, including the best paths to follow to the most stunning sites and views. From an ecological point of view, my tour is the only one that goes to both Charleston and Rathfinney without the use of private vehicles and is therefore completely sustainable. The walk is approximately 9 miles in total, and what better way to finish, than treating yourself with a spectacular Sunday roast, meal and bottle of divine English bubbles. I can tailor make the tour, so that you can eat and drink wherever you fancy en route. I can also include an uber from Rathfinney back to Seaford station as I've discovered that most people aren't keen to walk after a big lunch. Just let me know what you fancy.
