Discover the Best Bluebell Walks Near Littlehampton – A Boutique Spring Escape

Bluebell Walks, Dog-Friendly Pubs & Boutique Stays Near Littlehampton

When spring arrives in West Sussex, the countryside comes alive with one of nature’s most enchanting displays — bluebells. For travellers who love staying in stylish, character-filled places and prefer discovering hidden gems over crowded hotspots, this season offers something truly special.

Littlehampton makes the perfect boutique base for exploring. It’s a charming seaside town with a creative spirit, independent shops, and some of the most beautiful coastal views around. And when you stay at East Beach Guest House, you get to enjoy it all — the sea breeze, the curated interiors, and the warmth of a place that feels more like a home than a hotel.

Here are three handpicked bluebell walks near Littlehampton, each with a dog-friendly country pub nearby — ideal for refuelling after a wander through the woods.

1. Angmering Park Estate Bluebell Walk

Just a short 15-minute drive from Littlehampton, Angmering Park Estate is one of West Sussex’s best-kept secrets. The woodland here bursts into colour during late April and early May, with bluebells stretching across the forest floor in every direction. The walk is easy-going, peaceful, and ideal for a morning wander with or without a four-legged friend.

Why Boutique Guests Love Staying in Littlehampton

Guests who choose boutique guest houses tend to travel with intention. They’re not after the loudest or the biggest — they’re looking for something meaningful. A place with warmth, design, and soul. Somewhere they can really unwind.

That’s what makes Littlehampton so appealing. It’s a laid-back seaside town with a creative, slightly bohemian edge. You can walk along the seafront with your dog in the morning, head into the rolling countryside by lunch, and be back for sunset with an ice cream in hand.

And at the heart of it all is East Beach Guest House — a beautifully kept boutique guest house just steps from the shore. Here, you’ll find thoughtfully designed rooms, genuine hospitality, and a setting that invites you to slow down. Guests often say it’s the kind of place they didn’t want to leave.
