You don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to get romantic – why not spend a romantic Christmas break exploring Sussex’s secrets? Here are some romantic Sussex secrets for a couples Christmas.
A walk on the beach
It might be a cliché, but it doesn’t get much more romantic than a winter walk on the beach, arm in arm with the one you love. The fresh sea air is bound to blow the cobwebs away, and that crisp winter breeze is a wonderful excuse to curl up together in front of a log fire with a hot chocolate afterwards – the perfect end to a perfect day.
A gourmet meal in Brighton
Brighton has to be one of the most ‘happening’ cities in the UK. Its arts scene makes it a magnet for creative people, and that includes culinary geniuses. Brighton’s gourmet restaurants are famous for their variety, quality and the exceptional standard of their cuisine. From Thai to traditional French and some interesting fusions, this is the place for the most romantic gourmet meal. Afterwards a promenade along the sea front will help burn off at least some of those excess calories.
The dramatic view from Beachy Head
It’s one of the most iconic coastal points in the country, and the perfect place for a romantic walk (just don’t get too close to the edge!). Beachy Head is the south coast at its finest, and is the perfect place for a romantic stroll, especially during the winter, when the usual crowds have thinned, so you can have some time alone together.
Gazing at the stars at Herstmonceux Castle
Who needs five-star hotels when you can have a million? Head to the Observatory at Herstmonceux Castle and discover the wonders of the universe. Astronomy is becoming hugely popular now, and this fascinating location combines the elegance of a country home with some riveting displays, exhibitions and talks. Perfect for real star-crossed lovers.
Adrenaline junkies
Sussex is a hotbed of adrenaline sports, so if you’re an active couple who love trying something new, why not reach for the skies with a paragliding experience, or explore the beauty of the South Downs with a winter horseback ride?
Whatever you decide to do, A Christmas break in Sussex is the perfect opportunity for you to do it with the one you love most. And once you get back to your luxury holiday cottage at the end of a busy day, there’s nothing more romantic than simply being together in front of a roaring log fire!
