    1. The South Downs is just a load of green fields by the sea.

    2. And it's so small and built up for a national park.

    That's the South Downs way and it's 100 miles long.

    3. There's no wildlife, it's just all lifeless hills.

    South Downs ponies.

    4. There's no interesting buildings, just bland little cottages.

    5. All those flint walls are so samey.

    6. There isn't much variety to the scenery.

    Plumpton, East Sussex

    7. Who would want to hang out in this gnarly wood?

    That's just near Firle Beacon towards the River Ouse if you fancy it.

    8. This looks like a boring place to go for a walk, no thank you.

    9. Can't see why anyone would want to go horse riding around here.

    10. This beach looks so cramped.

    Flickr: speckled / Creative Commons

    And it definitely hasn't got the nicest little river path leading to it.

    Exceat Beach, Cuckmere, East Sussex

    11. And the Southdown sheep definitely isn't the cutest, little fluffy-faced sheep.

    Friston, East Sussex

    12. And all that industrial farming is so ugly.

    13. All those bails definitely spoil the view.

    Jevington, East Sussex

    14. And even if you did want to go, there's no where nice to stay.

    Wouldn't recommend renting these little pods in Lewes for under £30 each.

    15. Definitely don't visit in the winter, it looks terrible.

    16. Not a great place to go sledging, too many long gentle slopes.

    17. It's just such a hilly place to go for a walk.

    Fullking, West Sussex

    18. It's a terrible place to admire the wild flowers.

    19. All those cliffs are just so... White.

    Seven Sisters, East Sussex

    20. They're just so underwhelming and mild.

    21. Looks like a terrible place to watch the sun rise.

    Seven Sisters, East Sussex

    22. And it's definitely a terrible place to watch the sun set.

    Crowlink, The Seven Sisters, East Sussex

    23. Beachy Head might be the tallest sea cliff in the country, but that lighthouse really ruins the view.

    24. Not worth climbing that hill, too much effort.

    25. And it's so windy! Who likes wind? No one.

    26. All those cliffs are so ugly up close.

    27. If you get bored of the countryside, there aren't any nice towns to visit.

    Eastbourne

    28. Wouldn't want to eat fish and chips on that pier.

    29. And you can't get any famous Italian ice cream.

    30. All the beaches are shingly, so they're ugly and they hurt your bum.

    Eastbourne

    31. And nothing ever happens there.

    Airbourne, the annual Eastbourne air show.

    32. And Lewes' bonfire night party is just so boring.

    33. It's such an ugly town anyway.

    Lewes, East Sussex

    34. And it has absolutely no history.

    35. The South Downs are just too close to Brighton.

    Flickr: 68942208@N02 / Creative Commons

    36. And Brighton is just one big eye sore.

    Flickr: mackenzieblu / Creative Commons

    37. It has such an ugly sea side.

    Flickr: mackenzieblu / Creative Commons

    38. It's just so bland and boring.

    39. No fine dining to speak of.

    That's "The Seasider" from 24 St. Georges, Brighton.

    40. And definitely not any good fish and chips.

    Flickr: bexwalton / Creative Commons

    41. And you can't get a good 99 anywhere!

    Flickr: scottlowe / Creative Commons

    You definitely can't get a great one every 100 metres.

    42. The South Downs has nothing to offer. That freezing sea doesn't look at all tempting.

    Birling Gap, East Sussex

    43. It's a genuinely boring place to visit.

    So stay away.

    Unless you like, amazing scenery, great food, nice beaches, and long walks. But who likes all of those things?
