Not too far from Wiston Estate is the Chanctonbury ring walk, which forms part of the South Downs way. The walk takes you along an Iron Age hill fort with spectacular views over the Sussex countryside. It’s a 3-4 mile loop trail near Findon, generally considered easy taking 1-1.5 hrs to complete depending on how fast you walk… or how quickly you want to get to that wine. The loop takes you right by Wiston so you can pop in whilst en route wherever you start the loop.

RATHFINNY ESTATE

Technically Rathfinny lies in East Sussex, but the white cliffs of the Seven sisters is undoubtedly one of the most stunning walks Sussex has to offer. If you’re a real hiker, the best way to experience the Seven Sisters cliffs is by walking the 14 mile coastal trail from Seaford to Eastbourne. However, we like the idea of a shorter walk starting at Seaford and then getting in the car for 12 minutes and driving to Rathfinny Estate for a tour or fancy lunch.
