Highwoods yesterday, and some other walk options

The best place to be on a hot day. I love sitting by the stream and hearing the running water. Charlie the dog is getting more confident about getting down steepish slopes into the water. I wanted to spend the whole day in the woods yesterday! I must be due a forest holiday! We are so lucky in Bexhill with a variety of places to walk our dogs: Highwoods, Collington Woods, Broad Oak Park, Bexhill Down, The Seafront and Beach, Egerton Park,  and The Polegrove. You can also walk to Hastings along the coastal path (which is a cycleway too) from Galley Hill, or just go up the hill for the view. There's a cafe over the other side of Galley Hill (with access nearby to the Ravenside Retail Park where you will find M&S, B&Q, Curry's, B&M, Tapi carpets and floors, Tesco, Pets at Home and Halfords. There is also a swimming pool.) A little further along the coastal path, in St Leonards, I can heartily recommend The Bathing Hut Cafe which is vegetarian and has very tasty vegan snacks and cakes. Do check whether they are open as it will depend on the weather.
