If you like a walk with a difference, then this is the book for you. Sussex is one of the most haunted counties in England and each of the walks in this book includes a number of spine-tingling spooks and spectres to unnerve even the most daring. The 15 walks in this book range from 1 mile to 10 miles in length and take in a wide variety of scenery from the elegant seafront of Brighton to the windswept heights of Ditchling Beacon on the very summit of the South Downs. Each walk has been walked by the author and all the ghosts are most scarily genuine along with good maps and refreshment stops.
The author, Rupert Matthews has written many books on various aspects of history and writes a newspaper column on Ghosthunter walks throughout the country

Teashop and Pub Drives in Sussex, by Rupert Matthews, published 15 April 2010 (120 pp., Seaford: S. B. Publications, ISBN-10: 1857703537 & ISBN-13: 9781857703535) accessible at: West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

Two of the best things about England are pubs and teashops. Both types of hostelry have their fans but together they sum up so much about England that is special and unique. And Sussex has some of the finest in the kingdom. There are seventeen drives in this book starting at a pub and finishing at a tearoom. The drives have been designed so that you can have a light lunch at the pub and then travel leisurely through the Sussex countryside -stopping of at points along the way - and arrive at the teashop in time for a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake around tea time. What more pleasant way could there be to spend an afternoon in Sussex. Of course the drives can be done in reverse so you can start with morning coffee and finish at lunchtime at the pub. The choice is yours. Every route has detailed driving instructions and stopping off points for places of interest along with generous historical and factual information.
