アッパービーディングの湖・トップ8

At the Shoreham end of the cycle path past Hove.

Just past the Hove Pump Track on the coast cycle path. Nice spot.

unusual houses by the lagoon

This traffic-free section of NCN route 2 runs alongside two bodies of water - the sea and Widewater Lagoon. It's an area of brackish water landlocked by a man-made shingle bank. Look out for herons, swans, geese, cormorants, kingfishers, gulls and many other wildfowl. The path can get quite busy in the summer months so watch out for pedestrians and joggers. There are toilets and a water tap at the eastern end of the lagoon, and also a small kiosk selling drinks and ice creams.

This is a wonderful little rest stop if your hiking or a quick breather stop if your out running. This isolated pond is a veritable haven for the local wildlife and domestic animals. It is also a great photo stop too.

Can get very busy but take it easy and take in the views

Hove Lagoon is a real treasure and well worth the trek to the western edge of the city. First class playgrounds, paddling pool and boating lagoon, fairground rides, skate park, café and bar, tables, chairs, murals - literally all the ingredients for a full day out!
