Perfect picnic spots in the South East

With the warmer weather in full swing it’s time to make the most of nature as the days get longer. Instead of dropping a quick snack into your backpack, why not take the time to make a meal out of it? Gather up your family and friends, pack your favourite summer lunch and seek out the perfect spot to unroll your picnic blanket on a visit to our countryside and gardens in the South East. Fill your hamper and follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen’s Emma, who famously picnicked at Box Hill, or set up on top of Devil’s Dyke for views of the rolling South Downs.
