Coney Wood
Sitting on a hillside between Patcham and the expansive countryside of Green Ridge, Coney Wood, just north of Brighton, is a popular green oasis among the city’s residents. The lush woodland scenery and wildlife-spotting opportunities are worth the trip, and if your legs can carry you up the steep ascent, you’ll be rewarded with gorgeous vistas over the South Downs.
