Location & Local Attractions
The Hickstead is just a short drive from Brighton, one of the most creative cities in the UK. Explore the Pavilion, the Brighton Wheel overlooking the West Pier, the great shopping in the Lanes, and, of course, the paddling on the beach. Listen to buskers and browse the shops in the arches by the pier. Brighton is lively all year round with festivals and plenty to see and do.
Just a 20 minute drive from the hotel is the beautiful National Trust Site of The South Downs. Enjoy breathtaking views and hidden gems that the coastline has to offer. From the rolling hillsides and views, to bustling market towns, is clear to see why The South Downs is a National Park. Discover the white cliffs of Seven Sisters, gentle farmland, ancient woodland and lowland heaths or enjoy picture perfect villages, traditional country pubs and flourishing vineyards.
