More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning train glides out of London Bridge and, within an hour, the city’s glass and grit give way to open fields and rolling chalk. The tour deposits you at Brighton before a luxury minibus carries the group into the South Downs National Park; cliffs rise like a pale wall where the land meets the Channel and the Seven Sisters dare the tide below.
