Sussex is full of fascinating places waiting to be discovered. From ancient woodland and forgotten historic sites to dramatic coastal scenery, hidden waterfalls and peaceful countryside, there is always somewhere new to explore.
Over the years, I’ve photographed, filmed and researched hundreds of locations across East Sussex, the High Weald and surrounding areas. Many have fascinating stories, while others are simply beautiful places to enjoy a walk or take photographs.
To help others discover these places, I’ve created a collection of Google Maps showing locations featured in my photography, blog articles and YouTube films.
Below you’ll find my free public Sussex location map, alongside two more detailed private maps available to those who would like to support my work.
1. Free Sussex Location Map – Hidden History & Natural Wonders
My free public Google Map brings together an expanding collection of interesting places to visit across Sussex.
Whether you’re a photographer, walker, history enthusiast or simply enjoy exploring the countryside, the map provides inspiration for your next outing.
Discover locations including:
- Historic castles, ruins and forgotten buildings.
- Second World War defences, memorials and historic landmarks.
- Ancient trees, beautiful woodland and countryside.
- Coastal viewpoints and landscape photography locations.
- Unusual and lesser-known places with interesting stories.
Many locations are featured in greater detail through my Sussex Photography blog articles and YouTube documentaries.
The map is completely free to explore and is regularly updated as I discover and document new places.
2. Private Sussex Photography Locations Map
Discover the Places Behind My Photographs
For those interested in visiting the actual locations featured in my landscape photography, I’ve created a separate private Google Map.
This includes many of the places where photographs on Suxxes Photo were taken, covering woodland scenes, coastal views, countryside landscapes and quieter locations across East Sussex and the High Weald.
Some are familiar landmarks, while others are tucked away in less-visited corners of the countryside.
The map is particularly useful for photographers looking for inspiration, walkers searching for somewhere different, or anyone curious about the places behind my photographs.
Access to this private map is available by supporting Suxxes Photo through Buy Me a Coffee.
Your support helps me continue exploring, photographing and documenting the Sussex landscape.
3. Private Map of Hidden Sussex Waterfalls
Discover the High Weald’s Hidden Woodland Waterfalls
One of my favourite photographic projects has been discovering the remarkable collection of hidden waterfalls scattered throughout the High Weald.
Unlike the famous waterfalls found in mountainous regions, Sussex waterfalls are often small, seasonal and surprisingly difficult to find.
Many lie deep within ancient woodland, where streams have carved narrow ravines and sandstone ghylls into the landscape.
Some only flow properly after prolonged heavy rainfall, briefly transforming quiet woodland streams into beautiful cascades.
Through many walks and return visits, I’ve documented these lesser-known natural features, including waterfalls around Ashdown Forest, Hastings, Dallington, Beckley Woods and other parts of the High Weald.
I’ve created a dedicated private Google Map of Hidden Sussex Waterfalls, containing precise Google Maps locations and what3words references.
The map is designed for walkers, photographers and nature enthusiasts who would like to discover these beautiful places for themselves.
Rather than publishing every precise location openly, I share the detailed map privately with people who support my work.
You can also explore the photographs, descriptions and stories behind these locations in my detailed guide:
High Weald Hidden Woodland Waterfalls
Exploring Sussex Responsibly
Many of the locations featured on these maps are in beautiful but sometimes fragile natural environments.
Please respect private property, follow public rights of way, avoid disturbing wildlife and leave places as you find them.
Woodland waterfalls can be particularly slippery and difficult to access after heavy rainfall. A map pin identifies a location but does not necessarily indicate a safe or permitted route.
The aim of sharing these maps is to encourage responsible exploration and a greater appreciation of the Sussex landscape.
Supporting Sussex Photography
Suxxes Photo is an independent photography and filmmaking project dedicated to exploring the landscapes, history and hidden places of Sussex.
My website and YouTube channel document these discoveries through photography, films and research, helping others appreciate the remarkable places we have on our doorstep.
The free location map will remain available to everyone.
For those who would like to support the project, the private photography and waterfall maps offer an opportunity to discover more while helping fund future explorations.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope these maps inspire you to get outdoors and discover somewhere new.
