We like to think we have a keen eye for standout locations! So it’s no surprise that Sussex, with its rolling downs, charming villages, and dramatic coastline, has caught the eye of more than a few filmmakers over the years. Some of the silver screen’s most iconic moments were filmed right on our doorstep !

Set high above the shoreline in Ovingdean, The Cliffs offers something truly rare... the elegance of coastal living in a piece of British architectural history. With sweeping views across the sea and the South Downs, this is where heritage meets high design.

Hove Lagoon hosts what we think is world’s greatest paddle boarding relay racing tournament. 40 teams of 4 racers, cheered on by their families, friends, work colleagues and bemused members of the public to compete for silverware and kudos, and most importantly raise much needed funds for local charities.
