NATURE-loving children and their parents looking for something different to try outdoors this summer can pick up a new 'Summer Activities For Kids' brochure courtesy of East Sussex County Council.
'Summer Activities for Kids' lists a variety of activities and outdoor events and was launched on 27th July with the 'Camber Castle for Kids' event.
Starting at Brede Lock, it provided a chance to explore the ruins of one of Henry VIII's castles,
along with a walk through Rye Harbour Nature Reserve.
This was the first of over twenty similar events for those who love the great outdoors to be held over the summer holidays.
Other activities for children include treasure hunts, cycling around a lake, and finding out about local wildlife; including moths, bats, birds and bugs.
All of the events are led and arranged by County Council staff and it is hoped that the programme will encourage more families to get out and about and enjoy the countryside.
Councillor Matthew Lock, Lead Cabinet Member for Transport & Environment said:
"This new leaflet is a must for any family wanting to get out and explore the beautiful East Sussex countryside this summer."
The 'Summer Activities for Kids' leaflet can be picked up from all East Sussex libraries, tourist information centres and council offices.
Separate programmes of guided cycle rides 'Cycling East Sussex' and guided walks 'Exploring East Sussex' are also available from East Sussex libraries and tourist information centres.
All programmes can be found online at: www.eastsussex.gov.uk/leisureandtourism/countryside
