Walking & Nature Breaks in Kent & Sussex

Want to spend your weekend walking, swimming and getting outside rather than working through a sightseeing list?

Firebow Holidays offers self-catering accommodation across Kent and Sussex for friends, couples and families planning walking weekends, wild swimming trips, active family breaks and countryside getaways.

Our homes give you a comfortable base for exploring the coast, countryside and forest during the day, with proper kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms and communal spaces to come back to afterwards.

Whether the plan is a long walk followed by the pub, an early swim by the coast, a weekend outdoors with the family or an annual trip with old friends, choose the location that fits the kind of break you want.

Find the Right Nature Break

Walking Weekends

Choose somewhere that gives you plenty of reasons to pack your walking boots.

Our Kent and Sussex stays put you within reach of countryside, woodland, coastal walks and popular walking areas, whether you're planning full days on foot or simply want a good walk to be part of the weekend.

Afterwards, come back to a self-catering home where you can cook, eat and relax together rather than splitting the group between separate rooms.

Wild & Coastal Swimming Breaks

If getting in the water is part of the plan, make the coast the focus of the weekend.

Our coastal stays give you a base for outdoor swimming trips in Kent and Sussex, including easy access to the sea and Walpole Bay Tidal Pool in Margate.

Plan the weekend around a morning swim, time by the coast and somewhere good to eat afterwards, with a comfortable home to come back to when you're ready to warm up.

Countryside & Forest Getaways

Not every nature break needs to be about covering miles.

Choose the countryside when what you really want is a quieter couple of days away. Explore Ashdown Forest, follow local walking routes, discover villages and countryside around Kent and Sussex, or simply spend more of the weekend outdoors.

It's an easy way to combine walking and exploring with slower mornings, long lunches and evenings back at the house.

Walking & Nature Breaks With Friends

For friendship groups in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s, sometimes the best weekends are the simplest ones.

Go for a long walk, head out for a swim, stop for lunch somewhere good or spend the afternoon exploring the countryside before coming back for dinner and a proper catch-up.

Whether it's an annual trip with old friends, a relaxing countryside weekend or a few active days away together, our homes give you one place to stay and plenty to build the weekend around.

Active Family Weekends

For families who'd rather be out exploring than indoors all weekend.

Spend the day walking, exploring the coast, heading into the forest or finding an outdoor activity nearby, then return to a house where everyone has space to eat, relax and spend the evening together.

With countryside and coastal locations across Kent and Sussex, families can choose a break that suits how active they want to be.

Our Locations

Coast, Countryside or Forest?

Choose Margate for sea swimming, beaches and Walpole Bay Tidal Pool. Head to Hastings for coastal walks, the sea and the countryside above the town.

Stay around Canterbury for the Kent countryside and walking with the city close enough for a change of pace, or choose Forest Row when Ashdown Forest, woodland and countryside are at the heart of the weekend.
