Succesfully spinning for mackerel at tea time, with toddlers to terminals bright eyed on the shore side.

None of those.
East Dean & The Tiger Inn on any sunny day in the year, then a walk to Birling Gap over the beautiful downs. Not a car in sight during the walk. Lovely views when the Channel comes into sight.

We had a lovely day out in Rye last year. A bit of a bugger of a drive from Brighton due to poor roads, but an interesting, historic, town centre. Visited a National Trust place in the middle with an oasis of a garden.

After you've left 5 minutes early. You don't get patrons leaving the cinema or opera early. ThIs makes my control-freak blood boil.

You can get into Bodiam Castle without being a NT member, unless I misunderstood you?
(I worked in the kitchen there as a 16/17 year old many summer moons back too - lovely place.)

Voted 'other' as no mention of Alfriston and the Cuckmere Valley, which is in my opinion right up there with some of the other mentions.

A wonderful way to spend a peaceful day but if you are after a bit of adrenalin it has to be the Goodwood Revival Meeting IMO.
My Dad was a TT Racer and I used to go and watch him so a day at a motor racing circuit being deafened and breathing in exhaust fumes from Vintage Cars and Bikes while Spitfires wheel overhead is my idea of heaven...

I am from Tunbridge Wells, part of it used to be, many Sussex people would like it back, so I was being a bit naughty.
Having said all that it is nice for a day or weekend out and the surrounding area.
So what you're saying is that Tunbridge Wells is our version of the Golan Heights?
