Discover the setting for secret feasts in the forest, peek inside a glamorous Vogue war correspondent's surreal Sussex home, wander through a forgotten village by the sea, stumble on a fairy-tale folly and a tomb shaped like a Pyramid, uncover a hidden Bond-movie location, hunt out little-known Sussex wineries, track down Sherlock Holmes' fictional country cottage, take a safari through an African-inspired landscape, tour Led Zeppelin's former mansion, lose yourself in a museum about murder and true crime, and hang out with a colony of wallabies .
Sussex is filled with hidden treasures that offer countless opportunities to wander off the beaten path. Secret Sussex is the first guide of its kind, designed for people who think they know the county well but are ready to move away from the tourist crowds in search of the unusual, the underground and the overlooked.
