If you were made to feel welcome with your dog in a local establishment, or if you would like to have a listing on this page (there is no charge), please get in touch using the Contact Page.

If you do not have a website, I can build you a page which will link to this one. You can have text and photos to further promote your service. The only proviso is that it must be dog-friendly. Pet Stop Lodge is a page I built for Christine, the owner. If you have any questions about this, just send me a message.

Great Sussex Dog Walks

Until you know a walk very well, you may not want to let your dog off the lead. Always be prepared for what might be round the corner!

Brighton Dog Walks
A comprehensive section on dog walks in Brighton - we give you the inside info on what the city has to offer our canine chums.

Friston Forest
About 45 minutes outside of Brighton but well worth it! A beautiful area between Brighton and Eastbourne.

South Downs Way
Wide grassy or flinty tracks on chalk downland, mostly grazed by sheep on the hills with arable crops below. The western part of the downs is rolling farmland, the West Sussex Downs are dominated by a steep, often wooded scarp with views across the Weald below, while the East Sussex Downs are classic open grassland running down to the sea cliffs.

Ditchling Beacon
At 248 metres (814 feet) it is the third highest point along the South Downs. The views are fantastic and it's an amazing place for a walk. It does get busy however, especially in the summer, and watch out for the cows. Georgie discovered the fun of cow pats on this walk (you can probably imagine what happened!)

Devil's Dyke

North of Brighton, on the South Downs, West Sussex
An historic beauty spot on the South Downs Way, named after the huge dry valley that carves its way through ridges of rolling chalk grassland. This is a stunning walk that we've done many times.

Cissbury Ring
Set on a chalk promontory on the South Downs three miles north of Worthing, Cissbury Ring has great views across to Beachy Head and the west of the Isle of Wight.

Harting Down
Harting Down, just off the B2141, south of South Harting village, is one of the largest areas of ancient chalk downland owned by the National Trust.

Drovers Estate
The Drovers Estate near Singleton, Chichester, is part of a patchwork of agricultural land dominated by large stands of woodland.

Slindon Estate
The Slindon Estate, off the A29 near Arundel, consists of a large expanse of sweeping downland divided by dry valleys.

East Head
East Head near West Wittering, is a small but significant sand and shingle spit at the entrance to Chichester Harbour.
