Built in 1860 and fed by a spring, Pells Pool is the oldest freshwater lido in the country that is still operating.

Set amongst 120 acres (49 ha) of green landscape, Arlington Reservoir is a designated Local Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest which is home to many different animal species. The best place to watch the wildlife is from the Osprey bird hide on the northwest bank. Look out for cormorants, swallows, mallards, coots, Canada geese, and black swans. Popular with birdwatchers and fishermen, the reservoir also serves water to around 2.1 million people in East Sussex.

Hailsham's Common Pond is a beloved part of the town and underwent significant rejuvenation in the 1990s. Home to ducks, geese and swans, the pond is a lovely place to pause for a picnic or a snack stop and watch the world go by. The Cuckoo Trail, stretching north/south from Heathfield to Polegate, passes immediately by the pond.

A scenic river valley country park set in rolling farmland alongside grass topped white chalk cliffs in the South Downs National Park. It’s most famous for the iconic Seven Sisters (Haven Brow, Short Brow, Rough Brow, Brass Brow, Flat Brow, Bailey’s Hill and Went Hill) and for the ox-bow lake on the River Ouse, which could have come out of a geography school book!
