Pondside Glamping

Being within the High Weald National Landscape naturally means that you’ll have plenty of scenic choices for walks and bike rides, whether you fancy a gentle stroll or pedal or something rather lengthier and more energetic. Heading down towards the coast, Hastings Country Park (10 minutes’ drive) is a good destination, with the option to head into town for a paddle after your walk. Hastings has more than a beach of course – it’s also got a historic old town, a couple of cliff railways, a good adventure golf course and a couple of maritime-themed museums. Travelling a little further along the coast will take you to the quieter Winchelsea beach (10 minutes) or the historic town of Rye (15 minutes), packed with cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and antiques shops. The dunes of Camber Sands (25 minutes) are fabulous when the weather’s good; if it’s a damp day, head instead to the indoor displays at Brede Steam Giants (15 minutes).
