The Setting Sun

…food. Nice outside seating out the front. The Hop Poles: Small pub with good drinks selection with a seating area out the back that is undercover. The Mucky Duck: Common all garden pub action but excellent atmos with good crowd and they run a really great quiz or two. The Setting Sun: Nice boozer, pretty standard but the garden and sun set view is just killer.

…is a nice circular walk along and across the river Adur if you start at the Shoreham beach car park. Drusillas zoo is near Alfiston is worth a visit. Alfriston also has some nice walks. From Peacehaven you could also go to southease where there is a nice walk. In Brighton find the Setting Sun pub in Hanover for a sunset drink or meal. You could go to Sea Lanes at the east end of Brighton beach for a drink and a sauna. Take a walk up St James street and surrounding streets in Brighton to get a sense of the LGBTQ community. Hope those help.
