Bo-peep is set about a mile back from the main A27 in a quiet secluded hamlet right beneath the South Downs Way in a pleasant and productive garden. We are just minutes away from Lewes and several popular local attractions.

Our village is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty inside the boundary of the proposed South Downs National Park, surrounded by pleasant lanes and footpaths. Close to Glyndebourne, Michelham Priory, historic Lewes, Firle Place, Charleston Farmhouse (the home of the famous Bloomsbury set) and what is recognised as the best small zoo in England, Drusilla's.

Directions and maps are available for many circular walks from the house between 2 and 7 miles. So, whether you just want a gentle stroll to take in some country air, a walk to the next village for a drink / meal at the pub, explore the nearby Friston Forest And Seven Sisters Country Park or climb to the top of the Downs to see the Bronze Age Tombs and take in the stunning views, there is something for everyone. Many other walks are available just a short journey away

The Sustrans Cycle Path Network is close by and there are routings available for riders to take the Cuckoo Trail cycle path from Polegate to Heathfield. There are main other cycle routes around the lanes of the Cuckmere Valley including the ride down to Cuckmere Haven

Just an hour from Brighton, the Cuckmere Valley and its largest village, Alfriston, offers visitors the best of the British countryside.

The valley forms part of the South Downs Way, and many walkers take advantage of the position to enjoy the marvellous views this path offers. Other walks offer less strenuous opportunities for enjoying the natural scenery.

The historically-minded will be fascinated by Alfriston, a beautiful Medieval village boasting a fantastic church, St Andrews, 'The Cathedral of the Downs', as well as the first building acquired by the National Trust, the Clergy House.
