Holidays in the South Downs by train

  • Sussex towns

    Arundel, Brighton, Winchester

    Wind your way along the South Coast of England to vibrant Brighton with its buzzing nightlife, England's ancient capital, Winchester and the small market town of Arundel, home to a medieval castle.

  • Explore southern England’s chalk downland from the genteel East Sussex market town of Lewes: a medley of pubs, cafes and artisan shops nestled within the heart of the South Downs.

  • The UK’s LGBTQ+ capital is green, bohemian and energetic. Hit the beach, window-shop in the Lanes, or dip a toe in one of the city’s many events from the Fringe to the Great Escape Festival.
