Next, venture south to the charming Sussex countryside, where castle parklands, wealds, and picturesque windmills dot the landscape.

Stay at Gravetye Manor, Sussex- where beautiful grounds envelop the house. and freshly grown produce becomes part of every meal in the Michelin Star restaurant. A tour of the gardens is a must!
It’s time to take a flight to the charismatic Channel Islands for your next stop, Jersey. A small island famed for its nutty royal potatoes, abundant wild Atlantic fish, and a vast variety of crops and local produce. Lose yourself in the island’s winding lanes, rolling valleys, and golden beaches, and don’t miss the chance to indulge in some acclaimed Jersey oysters. The abundance of beaches also makes this an ideal surfing break for both newbies and professionals. Visit St Ouen’s with its three-mile stretch on the west coast of the island. The unique sand banks mean that the waves are great for learners, but also produce more challenging, larger swells for more experienced surfers.
