Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Worthing

"The Level is one of Brighton’s largest parks and boasts of a variety of purposes; from the Level Café, to a hiring venue for small community engagements, to an international standard skatepark, sensory play garden area, table- tennis arena which also has spaces for chess- boards, picnic spot, book club, Tai- Chi classes, fit- mums fitness sessions, and a beautiful bee bed and butterfly garden. The Level also has a massive collection of elm trees that support the colony of White-letter Hairstreak butterflies and is thus of national importance. The north lawns of the park also portray local artists’ works, which are also disabled- friendly and there is also a polished steel archway around the southern entrance that displays images of the history of the park, and the wildlife found here."

"An incredibly popular park during the summer months, found along Lewes road, the Level is perhaps most notable for having a large skatepark, the biggest in Brighton, with the others being in Hove Lagoon and Hollingdean skate park. But perhaps one of the most important factors when I’m going to spend a day in a park is that there are a large number of toilets available to the public with no charge. They also have baby changing facilities."

"A flagship reserve of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, you can walk the 2.5-mile path around the marshes to see many different birds – including dark–bellied brent geese, redshanks, short–eared owls, warblers and wheatears. Visit the Trust's website for more information on the wildlife and to download an illustrated map."

"This large park is built on the grounds of a former lake and has 3 small freshwater lakes. The Solent Way, a 60-mile walk, crosses the park. Milton Common is a great place to spot wildlife."

"Besides the Brighton Pier, the other major landmark of the city is the gorgeous Royal Pavilion, built between 1815 and 1822, and used by King George IV as a seaside pleasure palace. Take a guided tour around the premises, where you can appreciate its Indian-themed exterior and Chinese-themed interior decor, and you’ll understand why it is often used as a romantic wedding venue. The Royal Pavilion is a five-minute walk from Brighton Pier as well as the Queens Hotel and Spa, conveniently located opposite the pier."

"Perfectly located just west of Brighton’s famous Palace Pier, Queens Hotel & Spa offers well-appointed great value accommodation right on the beachfront with some rooms offering views over the pier. A heated swimming pool and sauna are at the heart of the Queens Hotel’s well appointed spa facilities while the No1 Bar & Bistro is the ideal place to start your evening before heading out to a live music gig or to one of the many sea facing night clubs."

"Located on the seafront close to the pier and The Lanes shopping quarter is 3-star Queens Hotel Brighton. It’s in a really handy location for restaurants and just a 5-minute walk from beautiful Brighton Pavilion. The hotel, which overlooks the English Channel, features 94 modern, spacious rooms, with chic decor and incredible sea views."

"Having opened its doors back in 1882, it remains the oldest and most authentic pub by Brighton’s seafront. The terrace at the front of the bar is ideal for relaxing on whilst enjoying a large beer on a summer evening. Live concerts and DJs are constantly organized and booked at the Fortune of War, making it a local favourite."

"One of the few beachside bars in Brighton boasting its own actual outdoor terrace, The Fortune of War is something of a summertime drinking staple. Get yourself an ice-cool cider and plant your toosh on either their benches or on the pebbles; it's all good at this laidback boozer."

"One of the best vegan restaurants in Brighton, Happy Maki‘s menu features an abundance of vegan sushi rolls, sushi bowls, and sides, and they all sound amazing. They have everything from vegan duck rolls to vegan cod, and everything in between. The popcorn cauliflower also sounds absolutely insane, so I’d definitely recommend giving that a go as a little side dish."

Happy Maki's creations might come minus meat and fish but these veggie sushi wraps deliver full-on flavour, with combinations like crispy mock hoisin duck with avocado and sweet potato with roasted coconut. For sushi without the fins, why not order in?"

"Absolutely love it! Tasty food and friendly service.. Just a shame there aren't more outlets!" 4.8/5 star rating. 8 Pool Valley, BN1 1PN"
