Enjoying a Romantic Evening Walk in Shoreham-by-Sea

    

 

If you’re looking for a romantic evening walk

with your significant other,

then Shoreham-by-Sea is the perfect place to go.

With its stunning views of the beach and the South Downs,

coupled with an array of local amenities,

it is the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic evening.

When planning your romantic evening,

it’s important to make sure that you bring everything that you need.

Here are some essential items that you should make sure to bring:

   

 Comfortable Shoes

When going on a romantic walk, 

it’s important to make sure that you both have comfortable shoes.

Sandals, walking shoes, and even flip-flops are all great options.

The key is to make sure that your shoes are comfortable enough to walk

for an extended period of time without causing you any discomfort.

   

Snacks and Drinks

No romantic evening would be complete

without a few snacks and drinks.

Pack a few light snacks like crackers,

sandwiches, or fruit to enjoy as you walk along.

Don’t forget to bring a few bottles of water or other drinks, too.

That way, you can enjoy a quick break while enjoying the view.

     

An Extra Layer of Clothing

Evening in Shoreham-by-Sea can get a bit chilly,

so it’s important to bring an extra layer of clothing.

A light jacket or a cozy blanket will do the trick.

That way, if the temperature drops,

you won’t have to cut your romantic evening walk short.

   

A Camera

Shoreham-by-Sea is a truly stunning place

to enjoy an evening stroll,

so don’t forget to bring a camera to capture the view.

That way, you can remember the moment for years to come.

Plus, your photos will make great additions to your holiday album.

          

A Flashlight

If you and your significant other decide to extend

your romantic evening walk,

then it’s a good idea to bring a flashlight.

That way, you can find your way back if it gets dark,

and you can also take a look at the beach at night.

  

By bringing these essential items,

you and your partner can enjoy a romantic evening walk in Shoreham-by-Sea

   

  

 

    

We have parked the car in the pay & display car park in Shoreham Fort

The start of our circular walk (though unplanned) 

is in Shoreham Fort/ Shoreham Redoubt

The fortress was planned then built around 1850s in Shoreham Harbour,

mouth of River Adur in West Sussex as a defense 

to the invasion worries of a strengthening French army ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoreham_Redoubt

     

In hindsight, we just appreciate how the deep reds and the whites of these wildflowers 

seem to mimic the brick elements of the fortress itself. 

It’s hard not to think these flowers are not so wild after all. 

    

    

   

These vibrant hues of pink abound along the beachfront. 

Growing luxuriously to lush flowers amidst the pebble-laden landscape. 

   

    

   

The shore is lined with these pebbles or rather stones 

and in fact, you can just sit down on these without any picnic towels or blankets.

You won’t have to worry about sand clinging to your clothing. 

   

   

   

The beachfront is lined with modern houses that are more like

from South Beach rather than South East. 

   

    

   

The seafront has a lot of room. 

You can bring your whole family and still have a lot of space far from the next group. 

 

   

   

Are these wildflowers? or cultivated plants? 

Whatever they are, they all look happy under the sun 

with a burst of rich summer colours. 

   

   

   

The seafront has a lovely boardwalk 

but it can get really busy as it is shared by joggers, walkers, cyclists, 

families, and dog-walkers alike. 

Shoreham-by-Sea seafront is different from Brighton 

as its got a more natural and cosier feel to it compared to Brighton 

which has gone very commercial. 

In fact it is so hard to spot the natural flora in Brighton seafront 

save for the ones growing just outside the naturist beach. 

   

     

VERY PRETTY SEASIDE DAISIES

Kite surfers and other watersports enthusiasts 

seem to be having the time of their lives 

harnessing the power of the wind to surf gracefully on these choppy waters.

Nature is such a genius artist; 

no, the artwork of a genius Creator whose power knows no bounds.

Further inland with our walk, walking along the River Adur 

reveals beautiful riverside scenery that reminds you of a river idyll. 

  

    

   

These boats lay stranded on the river bed for now

but as you shall see later on our way back on the other side, 

these boats will soon rise with the tidal waters.

A fisherman, framed by these delicate yellow flowers 

is seen fishing in the low tidal waters of the river. 

It won’t be long til high tide again. 

   

  

The bridge in the horizon is an active railway bridge. 

We thought we could cross the river that soon 

but unfortunately (or rather fortunately) not yet.

A PEACEFUL RIVERSIDE WALK

   

You can enjoy a lovely breeze along this path 

which is made more magical by the wildflowers that line it. 

You can also enjoy the view of the hills that make up the South Downs in the horizon. 

 

     

AN OLD RAILWAY BRIDGE WITH LOVELY VIEWS OF THE SOUTHDOWNS

 

Along the riverbank is what probably looks like a ruin of a pillbox. 

It makes sense as Shoreham is fortified to defend the British 

from the threat of a French invasion. 

   

The wooden bridge is the Old Shoreham tollbridge 

which was probably built for horse-drawn carriages during the 1700s. 

 

    

 

It is now mainly used by pedestrians and some cyclists 

and perhaps light vehicles are also not allowed anymore. 

It is more of a heritage structure than of utility. 

 

   

THISTLE

 

This sweet lady here was very friendly. 

She told us how it all seemed so just yesterday 

when they were doing up the bridge. 

Of course, as you shall see later on on the plaque, 

the bridge was built around 1700s, 

so its wasn’t that date that she meant:) 

    

  

Of course for documentation’s sake, here is the text transcription of this plaque:

This is the cosy Red Lion pub

a very inviting pub stop along the River Adur

We’ve eaten here once probably 3 years ago when we were doing the River Adur walk 

from somewhere further upstream. 

We didn’t know how far the river goes 

so after a tiring walk we decided that time to have a late lunch, 

order a big mixed grill platter for two, and a cold beer

After a hearty meal in the pub we decided to walk back along River Adur

    

Fast forward to today, 

we would have loved to have some pub grub here 

but due to COVID-19 restrictions, 

the pub is still closed for business. 

   

   

 

The Amsterdam Inn sits just across Red Lion Pub

 

    

COMMON DAISY

   

Beautiful wildflowers like this common daisy are dotted along River Adur

They really do add to the aesthetics and romantic appeal of the river walk.

These boats along River Adur have risen along with the tidal waters

The sun glistening on the water amidst the stationary boats 

makes the look even more romantic. 

This river walk is proving really enjoyable. 

 

    

   

The residents of these riverside flats /WATERFRONT APARTMENTS

are definitely having the time of their lives.

Shoreham-by-Sea is a lovely town and offers plenty of sights 

that can destress your mind. 

The walk probably took 3-4 hours circular

which felt less than that as its got a diversity of views. 

    

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk, 

with only one thing missing: a good sampling of food from a traditional pub. 

As pubs and restaurants were still closed at the time of visit, 

we just had to rely on food/snacks inside our backpacks.
