Welcome to Sussex Wildlife Walks




Latest site update - Wednesday 24th February

Do you enjoy walking and looking at wildlife? If so why not come along on one of the walks that I run throughout the year and learn more about the beautiful Sussex countryside and the plants and animals that are found there. All the walks are at a leisurely pace with plenty of opportunities to stop and look at wildlife.

Looking out of the window right now it's hard to believe that spring is just round the corner though the walks I have selected for March will hopefully give a taste of what Sussex has to offer in early spring. To find out more about the programme of walks for March click here
