"Although it may be a bit of a trek from the town center, if you find yourself in Brighton, a visit to the South Downs for a leisurely stroll is almost inevitable. If you continue down from Devils Dyke, you will eventually come across the Shepherd Dog pub nestled at the base of the hills. At this point, you may find yourself tired, hungry, and in desperate need of a pint. The pub's beer garden extends to the public footpath, creating a tranquil oasis for weary travelers. With a stream and bridge on the premises, even your dog can enjoy a swim and cool off. The food at this establishment is top-notch, especially the Sunday roast which is quite generous in size. Take a moment to explore the historical charm of the 17th Century pub before calling a cab for a ride back to town, or if you prefer, you can simply skip the walk and drive to this hidden gem."
