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.

The village of Arlington boasts a charming medieval church, a race track and a reservoir. However, it is the walks in the nearby Wilmington Woods that will enchant walkers the most. This is particularly true in the warmer months, when bluebells magically transform the woodland trails.

Dating from at least Saxon times, St Pancras Church is a beautiful building in the village of Arlington. Evidence suggests there was a wooden construction on the site even before the Saxons arrived. In 1889, the church building underwent major restorations after the Bishop of Chichester declared it was 'in a state of ruin.'

This former Augustine Priory dates back to the 13th century. The surviving buildings are now Grade I and II-listed and include a working watermill that is open to the public. An impressive moat surrounds the whole site, enclosing 8 acres (3.2 ha) of grounds.

A scenic medieval lake at the side of the Abbot’s Wood Abbot’s Amble Trail, with a few picnic benches.

Abbot’s Wood is a Forestry England managed woodland, with a network of well-made, wide gravel trails that provide lots of options. The site’s name is derived from the historical ownership of the wood, by Battle Abbey, when it was overseen by the Abbot.
