Nestled Inside The Horseshoe Shape Of Brighton Racecourse, Sheepcote Valley Is A Sudden Area Of Green Marking The Edge Of Brighton.

However, I Wouldn't Be Tempted Into The Centre Section Of The Area. It's Quite Scrubby And Best Appreciated From A Distance. The Area Is Fenced Off, And Is Popular For Off-Lead Walking. Don't Let Your Dog Onto The Racecourse Itself Though.
