Doodley Dogs Storrington

There's a quirky roadside attraction near Pulborough that's worth a five-minute diversion if you're exploring Sussex on foot or by car. Doodley Dogs is exactly what it sounds like - a collection of colourful dog sculptures dotted about Storrington, a small village that doesn't get much fanfare but makes for a pleasant wander.

It's the sort of thing kids either think is brilliant or completely ignore, depending on their age and mood. Younger children might enjoy spotting each one, treating it like a treasure hunt through the village streets. Teenagers will probably roll their eyes. Adults? Well, it's charming in that very British way - someone's decided to brighten up their corner of the world and got on with it.

The whole thing won't take more than an hour, maybe ninety minutes if you're the type who likes exploring every side street. Pulborough's just two miles away if you need a proper coffee or lunch. If you're staying at Washington Caravan & Camping Park - just two miles south - this works as a gentle afternoon activity between longer walks or days out. The wider area's got proper countryside, so it slots nicely into a park holiday without feeling like you're wasting daylight hours.

Best visited on a dry day when the village is properly accessible. There's no admission fee and no faffing about with opening hours. Just turn up and look about. It's free, it's daft, and it's genuinely part of the local charm.
