About Short Brow
A steep pull up from the Sussex Weald, Short Brow rewards the leg work with proper views across the countryside towards the coast. You're looking down into rolling farmland and woodland - the kind of landscape that makes you understand why people settle down here rather than anywhere flashier.
It's not a long stop. Twenty minutes if you're taking photos, ten if you just want the vista. The path is reasonably well-maintained but does bite on the calves on the way up, so go prepared for that. This works best as part of a longer walk rather than a standalone trip - you won't make a whole afternoon of it unless you're very keen on sketching or bird-watching.
Walkers get the most from it, particularly those already tackling the South Downs Way or exploring around Hailsham. Kids will manage it but aren't likely to stay entertained long once they reach the top. Weather matters here - a grey day flattens the view considerably, so choose your window.
If you're based at Three Ponds Holiday Park, it's a decent diversion that doesn't require driving miles from your accommodation. The area has enough woodland paths nearby to cobble together a proper day out, but Short Brow itself is more pitstop than destination. Free admission - you're just walking onto the land.
