Take part in hiking, cycling, swimming or just a stroll along the beach and take a picnic with you for a hearty bite to eat. Fresh air and sunshine are great for your health, so soak up the Sunny South East as you stretch your legs on one of the many breathtaking walking trails around the county as you endeavour on a camping trip this year.
