UpCountry Stone Cross

UpCountry Stone Cross in Eastbourne is a big lifestyle-and-farm-shop destination where dogs are welcome inside, so everyone can browse together. It's the kind of place you visit for one thing and leave with a bag of treats, a home bit, and a new obsession you didn't plan on.

The atmosphere is relaxed and spacious, great for a slow potter through food, gifts and seasonal finds. Expect a proper browse-around outing with plenty of "ooh, look at this" moments, and café-style refuelling when the shopping energy runs low.

Dogs can join the whole outing on lead, which means no pavement waiting and no splitting up the group. It's a useful wet-weather stop when outdoor plans need a backup, and the kind of place where a quick errand easily turns into a longer, more interesting afternoon.
